Sub-Nanosecond Dynamics of Pathologically Relevant Bio-Macromolecules Observed by Incoherent Neutron Scattering

Résumé

Incoherent neutron scattering (iNS) is one of the most powerful techniques to study the dynamical behavior of bio-macromolecules such as proteins and lipid molecules or whole cells. This technique has widely been used to elucidate the fundamental aspects of molecular motions that manifest in the bio-macromolecules in relation to their intrinsic molecular properties and biological functions. Furthermore, in the last decade, iNS studies focusing on a possible relationship between molecular dynamics and biological malfunctions, i.e., human diseases and disorders, have gained importance. In this review, we summarize recent iNS studies on pathologically relevant proteins and lipids and discuss how the findings are of importance to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of human diseases and disorders that each study targets. Since some diseases such as amyloidosis have become more relevant in the aging society, research in this field will continue to develop further and be more important in the current increasing trend for longevity worldwide.
