Dielectric investigation of the temperature dependence of the dynamics of a hydrated protein
Literature Information
F. Bruni, S. E. Pagnotta
We have investigated the dielectric properties, as a function of frequency and temperature, of the hydrated globular protein lysozyme. A large data set made up by measurements performed with a conventional capacitance bridge and with a dielectric broadband apparatus on the same sample has allowed us to identify two dielectric dispersions. The main dispersion is due to migrating protons along hydrogen bonded water molecules adsorbed on the protein surface. The dynamics of these charges has many analogies with that of proton glasses and other glass forming materials. Remarkably, the proton glass transition temperature, Tg, coincides with the temperature indicating the onset of hydrogen bond network dynamics at the protein–water interface. On the other hand, the second dispersion does not show any glassy behavior; this is attributed to small scale motions of protein side chains triggered by solvent, thus providing compelling evidence of the interplay between hydration water and protein dynamics, with possible implication for catalytic activity.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
