This work provides insights into the elastic properties of elastin and its peculiar inverse temperature transition (ITT). These features are dependent on hydration of elastin and are driven by a similar mechanism of hydrophobic collapse to an entropically favorable state. Using neutron scattering, we quantify the changes in the geometry of molecular motions above and below the transition temperature, showing a reduction in the displacement of water-induced motions upon hydrophobic collapse at the ITT. We also measured the collective vibrations of elastin gels as a function of elongation, revealing no changes in the spectral features associated with local rigidity and secondary structure, in agreement with the entropic origin of elasticity.}, cin = {Neutronenstreuung ; JCNS-1 / ICS-1 / JCNS-SNS}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)ICS-1-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-SNS-20110128}, pnm = {551 - Functional Macromolecules and Complexes (POF3-551) / 6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623) / 6215 - Soft Matter, Health and Life Sciences (POF3-621)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6215}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000363083900005}, pubmed = {pmid:26722771}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jpclett.5b01890}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/255669}, }
