Martini-based simulations of a superoxide dismutase protein reveal an allosteric pathway involving an important mutation site. Apart from the biological relevance of this finding, the study is a showcase of how the new Martini 3.0 model is able to capture allosteric coupling in proteins. For details, see: P.C.T. Souza, S.
