Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool for detailed studies of altered
properties of liquids in confinement, in particular, of changed structures and dynamics. They …

We present an overview of protein dynamics based mostly on results of neutron scattering,
dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. We identify several …

The dynamics of proteins in solution includes a variety of processes, such as backbone and
side-chain fluctuations, interdomain motions, as well as global rotational and translational …

The protein dynamical transition and its connection with the liquid-glass transition (GT) of
hydration water and aqueous solvents are reviewed. The protein solvation shell exhibits a …

We present a detailed analysis of the picosecond-to-nanosecond motions of green
fluorescent protein (GFP) and its hydration water using neutron scattering spectroscopy and …

In the present work, we provide a dielectric study on two differently concentrated aqueous
lysozyme solutions in the frequency range from 1MHz to 40GHz and for temperatures from …

When Szent-Györgyi1 called water the “matrix of life,” he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus, in the sixteenth century, said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) is an experimental technique that can measure
parameters of mobility, such as diffusion jump rate and jump length, as well as localized …

The general trend in soft matter is to study systems of increasing complexity which are more
technologically and biologically relevant. This is facilitated by the capability of quasielastic …

The scattering of neutrons can be used to provide information on the structure and dynamics
of biological systems on multiple length and time scales. Pursuant to a National Science …
