abstract = {Local and propagating vibrations occurring in DNA in the
terahertz domain are essential for processes at the basis of
cellular metabolism. Here we report the results of a study
on the B-DNA terahertz dynamics where we combined
high-resolution inelastic x-ray experiments and incoherent
inelastic neutron scattering. By using two different
high-hydration conditions we could study the effect of
packing interactions between double helices, while by
selecting Na and Cs counterions we could inspect how the
mass loading affects the DNA low-frequency modes. The
pattern of coherent excitation energies is well represented
in terms of two branches, an acoustic-like one, with an
associated propagation velocity of 3000 ± 100 m/s, and the
other almost dispersionless at ~2 meV. This picture is also
supported by the vibrational density of states projected on
the hydrogen atoms. The acoustic-like mode is assigned to
DNA excitations, despite its intriguing similarity with the
analogous acoustic mode of bulk water at low wave-vector
transfers. We also provide evidence for the intrahelical
optic-like character of the low-energy mode, that we ascribe
to large scale relative motions of DNA sub-domains.},
