Protein nanomachines are far more complex than any
molecular machines that have yet been artificially constructed.
Their skillful utilization likely represents the future of medicine.

Neutron spin echo spectroscopy (NSE) is the only experimental technique that can determine protein motion on nano length scales and on nanosecond to microsecond time scales. NSE can reveal protein domain motions in a protein or within a protein complex on length-scales comparable to their overall dimension. Such motions have long been hypothesized to be the most significant modes for protein function. We have developed a theoretical framework that allows one to interpret the NSE data

Nanoscale
protein dynamics:
A new
frontier
for neutron spin echo spectroscopy
Our theoretical framework uses simple concepts from
nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and does not require
elaborate molecular dynamics simulations, complex fits to
rotational motion, or elastic network models. In combination
with our experimental methodology of selective deuterium
labeling, our work clears significant hurdles to the
understanding of this very important problem.
