Abstract
Rotational motions of Trp residues embedded within human hemoglobin matrix have been measured by using their steady-state fluorescence anisotropy. The mean square angular displacement theta2 of Trp residues, depending on the temperature, can be expressed by W = 1/2Ctheta2 where W is the thermal energy acting on the Trp residues and C the resilient torque constant of the protein matrix. To study the external medium influencing the protein dynamics, comparative experiments were made with protein in aqueous buffer and in the presence of 32% glycerol. The data show that between 5 degrees C and 25 degrees C, external medium acts on the protein matrix elasticity.
