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

Proteins are the molecular workhorses in a living organism. Their 3D structures are
animated by a multitude of equilibrium fluctuations and specific out-of-equilibrium motions …

One of the fundamental challenges of physical biology is to understand the relationship
between protein dynamics and function. At physiological temperatures, functional motions …

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 …

Microbial rhodopsins (MRs) are a large family of photoactive membrane proteins, found in
microorganisms belonging to all kingdoms of life, with new members being constantly …

The observation of biological activity in solvent-free protein–polymer surfactant hybrids
challenges the view of aqueous and nonaqueous solvents being unique promoters of …

Neutron scattering reveals a complex dynamics in polypeptide chains, with two main onsets
of anharmonicity whose physical origin and biological role are still debated. In this study the …

The derivation of mean-square displacements from elastic incoherent neutron scattering
(EINS) of proteins is examined, with the aid of experiments on camphor-bound cytochrome …

Water is widely assumed to be essential for protein dynamics and function. In particular, the
well-documented “dynamical” transition at∼ 200 K, at which the protein changes from a …

Dynamic neutron scattering directly probes motions in biological systems on femtosecond to
microsecond timescales. When combined with molecular dynamics simulation and normal …
