Hydration-dependent dynamic crossover phenomenon in protein hydration water.
The characteristic relaxation time τ of protein hydration water exhibits a strong hydration level h dependence. The dynamic crossover is observed when h is higher than the monolayer hydration level hc=0.2-0.25 and becomes more visible as h increases. When h is lower than hc, τ only exhibits Arrhenius behavior in the measured temperature range. The activation energy of the Arrhenius behavior is ...
متن کاملMore than one dynamic crossover in protein hydration water.
Studies of liquid water in its supercooled region have helped us better understand the structure and behavior of water. Bulk water freezes at its homogeneous nucleation temperature (approximately 235 K), but protein hydration water avoids this crystallization because each water molecule binds to a protein. Here, we study the dynamics of the hydrogen bond (HB) network of a percolating layer of w...
متن کاملObservation of fragile-to-strong dynamic crossover in protein hydration water.
At low temperatures, proteins exist in a glassy state, a state that has no conformational flexibility and shows no biological functions. In a hydrated protein, at temperatures greater-- similar 220 K, this flexibility is restored, and the protein is able to sample more conformational substates, thus becoming biologically functional. This "dynamical" transition of protein is believed to be trigg...
متن کاملObservation of dynamic crossover and dynamic heterogeneity in hydration water confined in aged cement paste
High resolution quasi-elastic neutron scattering is used to investigate the slow dynamics of hydration water confined in calcium silicate hydrate gel in an aged cement paste at supercooled temperatures. A super-Arrhenius to Arrhenius dynamic crossover of the average translational relaxation time 〈τ 〉 as a function of the inverse temperature is observed at TL = 231 ± 5 K, which coincides with a ...
متن کاملRelation Between the Widom Line and the Dynamic Crossover in Bulk Water and in Protein Hydration Water
We investigate, for two water models displaying a liquid-liquid critical point, the relation between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of the liquid-liquid critical point. We find a correlation between the dynamic fragility transition and the locus of specific heat maxima Cmax P (“Widom line”) emanating from the critical point. Our findings are consistent ...
