Bounded diffusion in proteins

It is surprising that the parameters characterising the large-scale motions 

In magnetotactic bacteria very broad Mossbauer spectra (F 1(X) mm/s) have been observed above freezing temperatures (Ofer et al, 1984). These spectra are due to the diffusive motion of the magnetosomes (enveloped 

Fc304 particles) within the cytoplasmic fluid of the bacteria. The spectra were analysed within the extended bounded diffusion model discussed above, which provided information on the rotational and translational motions of the magnetosomes, as well as on the viscosity of the medium surrounding the magnetic particles. The results show that 1.5° and
