Abstract

Low-frequency Raman spectroscopy was used to directly probe the dynamical differences of the protein lysozyme preserved in both glycerol and trehalose. Strong differences were identified in the manner by which glycerol and trehalose affect the picosecond dynamics of lysozyme over a wide range of temperatures. These differences correlate strongly with established trends in the biochemical activity and denaturation temperatures.
