abstract = {erforming quasielastic neutron scattering measurements and
analyzing both elastic and quasielasic contributions, we
study protein and water dynamics of hydrated elastin. At low
temperatures, hydration-independent methyl group rotation
dominates the findings. It is characterized by a Gaussian
distribution of activation energies centered at about Em =
0.17 eV. At ∼195 K, coupled protein–water motion sets
in. The hydration water shows diffusive motion, which is
described by a Gaussian distribution of activation energies
with Em = 0.57 eV. This Arrhenius behavior of water
diffusion is consistent with previous results for water
reorientation, but at variance with a fragile-to-strong
crossover at ∼225 K. The hydration-related elastin
backbone motion is localized and can be attributed to the
cage rattling motion. We speculate that its onset at ∼195
K is related to a secondary glass transition, which occurs
when a β relaxation of the protein has a correlation time
of τβ ∼ 100 s. Moreover, we show that its
temperature-dependent amplitude has a crossover at the
regular glass transition Tg = 320 K of hydrated elastin,
where the α relaxation of the protein obeys τα ∼ 100 s.
By contrast, we do not observe a protein dynamical
transition when water dynamics enters the experimental time
window at ∼240 K.},
