The dynamics behavior of a protein is essential for its functionality. Here, Doucet et al. demonstrate how the evolutionary analysis of conformational pathways within a protein family serves to identify common core scaffolds that accommodate branch-specific functional regions controlled by flexibility switches, offering a model for evolutionary-dynamics based protein design.
