摘要: The statistical properties of fast protein-water motions are analyzed by dynamic neutron scattering experiments. Using isotopic exchange, one probes either protein or water hydrogen displacements. A moment analysis the function in time domain yields model-independent information such as time-resolved mean square displacements and Gauss-deviation. From moments, can reconstruct displacement distribution. Hydration displays two dynamical components, related to librational anomalous diffusion along surface. Rotational transitions side chains, particular methyl groups, persist dehydrated solvent-vitrified structure. interaction with induces further continuous on a small scale. Water acts plasticizer displacements, which couple functional processes open-closed ligand exchange.
