Abstract :
Broadband time-domain spectroscopy was used to measure the terahertz frequency absorption of protein single crystals in order to study global protein dynamics. Temperature dependent dynamics were measured for lysozyme, and the terahertz frequency spectrum of mouse urinary protein was compared to calculated spectra.
