abstract = {Pressure is a physical parameter which influence is widely
spread in Earth. Indeed, micro-organisms like Bacillus
Licheniformis can live in Deep Ocean until 10 km and they
can sustain pressure of about 1000 bar [1]. Multimeric
protein subunits association-dissociation phenomena and
protein folding and unfolding is also more studied using
this unusual parameter. The interest of using high pressure
comes for its use in food industries for sterilization
process since this procedure has less influence on texture
and taste than thermal sterilization. In medicine, high
pressure is studied for bio-conservation of blood or other
oxygen transporter molecules for exampleSmall angle neutron
scattering is a suitable tool to investigate soft matter
material: for example, proteins from their native to their
fully unfolded state since the technique is not destructive
and model based on polymer theory studies can be adapted to
characterize the structures. The JCNS at MLZ has a 5000 bar
high pressure with sapphire windows especially dedicated for
structural investigation of soft matter, and particularly
biology, investigated by Small Angle Neutron Scattering. The
design is based on the high pressure set up described in
Kohlbrecher et al 2007 [2]. The cell will be described and a
typical example will be presented.Quasielastic neutron
scattering allows to explore at the atomic space scale
internal motions of proteins in the pico-second time scale
[3,4]. Few neutron scattering studies on biomolecules were
performed up to date. The first unfolding study using
inelastic neutron scattering was published by Doster et al
[5,6]. Other studies have been performed by Appavou et al
for BPTI [7] and by Di Bari for Trypsin [8]. We would like
to present a series of results as a function of pressure we
have obtained with the TOFTOF time of flight quasielastic
neutron scattering spectrometer (Garching, Germany).We have
built a high pressure cell which can sustain a pressure of
2000 bar. The high transmission, due to the aluminium alloy
of the cell, allows us to make a quite accurate observation
of the influence of pressure on the translational diffusion
and the internal dynamics of haemoglobin.References1. C.
