Low-frequency collective modes in dry and hydrated proteins.

Published: October 1989

We have observed Brillouin-like low frequency collective modes in the scattering of 1 A neutrons from a fully in vivo deuterated protein. These modes are tentatively interpreted as due to short-lived coherent excitations propagating with velocities between 2,000 and 4,000 m/s in elements of the secondary structure and patches of closely associated water.
