Mosaic energy landscapes of liquids and the control of protein conformational dynamics by glass-forming solvents
Article Abstract:
A study was carried out to explain how the molecular motions of a glass-forming solvent distort the protein's boundary and slave some of the protein's conformational motions by using the advanced Random First-Order transition theory of glass-forming liquids. The experimental measurements of slaving of myoglobin motions indicate that a major fraction of functionally important motions have shown to have significant entropic barriers.

Anomalously slow solvent structural accompanying high-energy rotational relaxation
Article Abstract:
Experiments are conducted to show how the long-time behavior has obtained from a strong coupling of solute orientation to local solvent geometry. The slow dynamics is dynamically heterogeneous and the distribution of excited rotors is described by a distinct population of slowly relaxing hot rotational states.
