High-temperature dynamic crossover

The reversible step may be related to the dynamic crossover in protein hydration water at To 345 5K. NMR self-diffusion results [19] indicate that at this temperature a sudden change in hydration water dynamics occurs and the inverse diffusion constant switches from low-temperature super-Arrhenius behavior to high-temperature Arrhenius behavior. Neutron techniques (QENS) have also been used to study protein hydration water at this high-r crossover. Figure 21 shows the atomic MSD of protein hydration water at the low-r crossover measured using MD simulation. These crossovers can also be shown theoretically. Whenever the slope of an Arrhenius plot of the D T) changes, the specific heat has a peak. The well-known Adam-Gibbs equation (AGE) shows this as...
