Water dynamics on the protein surface mediate both protein structure and function. However, many questions remain about the role of the protein hydration layers in protein fluctuations and how the dynamics of these layers relate to specific protein properties. The fish eye lens protein γM7-crystallin (γM7) is found in vivo at extremely high concentrations nearing the packing limit, corresponding to only a few water layers between adjacent proteins. In this study, we conducted a site-specific pro ...[more]
