From asking questions about proteins towards solving conceptual problems of microhydrodynamics
I will discuss an example of research which originated from specific questions of chemists, who wanted to determine conformation of proteins from measurements of their self-diffusion and intrinsic viscosity. It turned out that to answer these questions, fundamental problems in microhydrodynamics need to be solved.
