## Abstract Internal and rigidβbody motions of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and of water molecules surrounding the BPTI are studied in a vicinity of an energy minimum using a normal mode analysis proposed as the independent molecule model. Water's rigidβbody motion is predominant in c
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 Aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding between nucleobases are two of the key interactions responsible for stabilization of DNA doubleβhelical structures. The present work aims at defining the specific contributions of these interactions to the stability of individual base pairs in DNA.
