  • Abstract
    We applied THz spectroscopy to study water dynamics around proteins. Unexpectedly we found extended dynamical hydration up to 20 Å from protein surfaces. Moreover by kinetic THz absorption (KITA) spectroscopy we figured out that protein and water network dynamics are coupled during protein folding.
