Water Dynamics Around Proteins: T- and R-States of Hemoglobin and Melittin

Marco Pezzella, Krystel El Hage, Michiel J. M. Niesen +4

The water dynamics, as characterized by the local hydrophobicity (LH), is investigated for tetrameric hemoglobin and dimeric melittin. For the T0 to R0 transition in Hb it is found…
