    This study derives the time-dependent Fourier transform intensity for macromolecules with clefts, like lysozyme. It reveals a specific region where intensity varies sinusoidally, enabling experimental determination of low-frequency macromolecule breathing modes.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Structural Biology
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Macromolecules like proteins possess dynamic motions, including low-frequency breathing modes.
    • Understanding these motions is crucial for protein function and drug design.
    • Current spectroscopic methods may not easily detect these low-frequency vibrations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To derive and analyze the time-dependent Fourier transform intensity for macromolecules with clefts.
    • To identify a method for experimentally observing low-frequency macromolecule vibrational modes.

    Main Methods:

    • Mathematical derivation of the time-dependent Fourier transform intensity.
    • Analysis of the transform for a model system (lysozyme).
    • Identification of specific regions within the transform related to molecular motion.

    Main Results:

    • A region in the Fourier transform intensity was identified where it varies nearly sinusoidally with time.
    • The frequency of this sinusoidal variation corresponds to the macromolecule's breathing mode of vibration.
    • This region shows that diffracted power is primarily concentrated at this single low frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived Fourier transform provides a novel approach to study macromolecule dynamics.
    • Experimental observation of this specific diffracted power allows for the determination of low-frequency breathing mode frequencies.
    • This method offers a complementary technique to Raman spectroscopy for characterizing molecular vibrations.
