Abstract

Proteins are molecular machines with structures that have evolved to perform various biological functions. Like all machines the link between structure and function is through dynamics. To properly understand function it is therefore necessary to understand the nature of protein dynamics. Inelastic neutron scattering is a spectroscopic technique which can be used to study protein dynamics on the timescale from 10^-12 to 10^-9 seconds, where functionrelevant protein motions take place. We hope that neutron scattering experiments to be performed by using high-intensity neutron source at J-PARC provide us valuable information on the protein dynamics.
