Protein internal dynamics is essential for its function. Exploring the internal dynamics of protein molecules as well as its connection to protein structure and function is a central topic in biophysics. However, the atomic motions in protein molecules exhibit a great degree of complexities. These complexities arise from the complex chemical composition and superposition of different types of atomic motions on the similar time scales, and render it challenging to explicitly understand the microscopic mechanism governing protein motions, functions, and their connections. Here, we demonstrate that, by using neutron scattering, molecular dynamics simulation, and deuteration technique, one can address this challenge to a large extent.
