โฆ Synopsis
We studied a dynamical model for the motion of the large scales of proteins in water. The model was obtained by projecting the (averaged) Newton equations onto some set of harmonic modes. We compared the statistics of the so-obtained trajectories with those obtained by standard techniques, and concluded that our dynamical model is able to fairly reproduce the average properties of the large-scale motion of the protein, and at the same time allow time steps one order of magnitude larger than the standard ones.

The mathematical foundations for experimental modal analysis of rotating structures are presented. They are characterised by non-symmetric and time-variant matrices. The equations of motion are solved by modal transformation to derive impulse and frequency response functions, which form the basis of
The effect of progessive hydration up to 60% by weight of Hz0 and D20 on the proton relasation of polycrystalline achymotrypsin and lysozyme has been examined. The dynamical behaviour of the protein molecules was not affected by hydration. The dynamics of the water molecules was characterized. and t
## Abstract Proteins are key components of biological cells. For example, enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions, membrane transporters are responsible for uptake and release of critical and superfluous components from the cell environment, and structural proteins are responsible for the stability
