abstract = {BackgroundRecently, it has been revealed that tetragonal
lysozyme crystals show a phase transition at 307 K upon
heating. The underlying mechanisms of the phase transition
are still not fully understood. Here we focus on the study
of high-frequency vibrational modes arising from the protein
and their temperature evolution in the vicinity of Tph as
well as on the detailed study of crystalline water dynamics
near Tph.MethodsRaman experiments have been performed at
temperatures 295–323 K including Tph. The low-frequency
modes and the modes of fingerprint region, CH- and
OH-stretching regions have been analyzed.Results and
conclusionsIn spite of the absence of noticeable
rearrangements in protein structure, the high-frequency
vibrational modes of lysozyme located in the fingerprint
region have been found to exhibit the features of critical
dynamics near Tph. Pronounced changes in the dynamics of
α-helixes and Tyr residues exposed on the protein surface
point to the important role of H-bond rearrangements at the
phase transition. Additionally the study of temperature
evolution of OH-stretching modes has shown an increase in
distortions of tertahedral H-bond network of crystalline
water above Tph. These changes in water dynamics could play
a crucial role in the mechanisms of the phase
transition.General significanceThe present results shed
light on the mechanisms of the phase transition in lysozyme
crystals.},
