abstract = {Domain motions in proteins are crucial for biological
function. In the present manuscript, we present a neutron
spin-echo spectroscopy (NSE) study of native bovine serum
albumin (BSA) in solution. NSE allows to probe both global
and internal dynamics of the BSA monomer and dimer
equilibrium that is formed in solution. Using a model
independent approach, we were able to identify an internal
dynamic process in BSA that is visible in addition to global
rigid-body diffusion of the BSA monomer and dimer mixture.
The observed internal protein motion is characterised by a
relaxation time of 43 ns. The overdamped Brownian oscillator
was considered as an alternative analytical theory that was
able to describe the internal process as first-order
approximation. More detailed information on the physical
nature of the internal protein motion was extracted from the
q-dependent internal diffusion coefficients ΔDeff(q) that
were detected by NSE in addition to global rigid-body
translational and rotational diffusion. The ΔDeff(q) were
interpreted using normal mode analysis based on the
available crystal structures of the BSA monomer and dimer as
structural test models. Normal mode analysis demonstrates
that the observed internal dynamic process can be attributed
to bending motion of the BSA dimer. The native BSA monomer
does not show any internal dynamics on the time- and
length-scales probed by NSE. An intermolecular disulphide
bridge or a direct structural contact between the BSA
monomers forms a localised link acting as a molecular hinge
in the BSA dimer. The effect of that hinge on the observed
motion of BSA in the used dimeric structural model is
discussed in terms of normal modes in a molecular picture.},
