    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics and structural biology
    • Protein dynamics and hydration effects

    Context:

    • Investigating protein dynamics using Rayleigh scattering of Moessbauer radiation (RSMR).
    • Examining myoglobin and lysozyme across a hydration range (h = 0.05-0.7).

    Purpose:

    • To quantify angular dependencies of inelastic intensities in RSMR for myoglobin and lysozyme.
    • To model intraglobular motions, including side-chain and cooperative segment movements.
    • To elucidate the role of water in protein structure and dynamics.

    Summary:

    • RSMR data indicate that hydration loosens protein structure and enhances internal dynamics by competing with hydrogen bonds.
    • Both individual side-chain motions and cooperative motions of alpha-helices/beta-sheets contribute to protein dynamics.
    • Water promotes ordering, leading to native structure formation at higher hydration levels (h = 0.4-0.7).

    Impact:

    • Structural differences, not disulfide bonds, explain varying fluctuations between myoglobin and lysozyme.
    • Understanding hydration's role is crucial for protein function and stability.
    • Molecular dynamics simulations complement RSMR data for a comprehensive view of protein dynamics.
