摘要：
Thermal neutron scattering is a powerful tool to directly probe protein internal motions. Here, we report an incoherent neutron scattering study of the effect of glycerol-, disaccharide- CO(NH2)2-aqueous mixtures on the internal dynamics of lysozyme powder. Mean-square displacement of amplitude motions as a function of temperature was evaluated. We showed the complex interdependence between the motions of the protein, water of hydration, and co-solvent. Analysis of data gives access to the geometry of the observed motions. Then the crucial role of the solvent mobility to activate thermal fluctuations is proposed.
