these confer movement to these structures = these photos give users a clear vision on how thses protein structures link together as a continuing movement?
Context:
“Nowadays we design drugs as if the proteins against which they are to act were static and this goes a long way to explain failures in the development of new drug therapies because this is not a true scenario. With MoDEL this problem is solved because it offers the user from 10,000 to 100,000 photos per protein, and these confer movement to these structures and allow a more accurate design”, says Orozco, head of the “Molecular modelling and bioinformatics” group at IRB Barcelona, director of the Life Sciences Programme of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and full professor at the University of Barcelona.
I wonder WHY no one has paid attention to this question?
@oristarA,
HA!
Well, this someone didn't see it.
It sounds like a promotional advertisement for a three-dimensional image that these folks are offering. Have you seen rotational three-dimensional images? I'm not familiar with MoDEL, but 3-D images tend to make schematic representations and rotate them around a central axis for viewing.
"confer movement to these structures" probably refers to a graphical image of the protein in 3 dimensions rotating around a center axis.
@JPB,
Thanks.
What is the first "these" there?
@oristarA,
and these confer....
these [photos] confer..... movement movement to theses [the protein] structures
@dadpad,
Thanks.
What does "confer" mean here?

With up to 100,000 views per protein molecule, this allows the computer model to show movement is great detail.
