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 …

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 …

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used to
study the role of the dynamics of biomolecules decoupled from solvent effects. Lyophilized …

The protein dynamical transition marks an increase in atomic mobility and the onset of
anharmonic motions at a critical temperature (Td), which is considered relevant for protein …

Improving protein thermostability in mutagenesis-based enzyme engineering was often
achieved by enhancing interresidue interactions via mutation to increase the enthalpy …

Interfacial water remains liquid and mobile much below 0° C, imparting flexibility to the
encapsulated materials to ensure their diverse functions at subzero temperatures. However …

The protein dynamical transition at~ 200 K, where the biomolecule transforms from a
harmonic, non-functional form to an anharmonic, functional state, has been thought to be …

A low-temperature dynamical transition has been reported in several proteins. We provide
the first observation of a “protein-like” dynamical transition in nonbiological aqueous …

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

This work addresses the use of the Gaussian approximation as a common tool to extract
atomic motions in proteins from elastic incoherent neutron scattering and whether …
