| The majority of the biosphere is a high pressure environment. Around 70% of the marine biosphere lies at depths below 1000 m, i.e. at pressures of 100 bars or higher. To survive in these environments, deep-biosphere organisms have adapted to life at high pressure. In vitro studies showed that the activity of certain proteins originating from deep-sea organisms is less affected by high pressure than that of enzymes from surface organisms [1-3]. However, the genetic and structural bases for this increased pressure resistance are still unknown. Elastic incoherent neutron scattering studies, which provide access to information about molecular dynamics, constitute a very promising approach to decipher the structural adaptation in proteins living under high... |

| In live cells, high concentrations up to 300–400 mg/mL, as in Eschericia coli (Ellis, R. J. Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 2001, 11, 114) are achieved which have effects on their proper functioning. However, in many experiments only individual parts of the cells as proteins or membranes are studied in order to get insight into these specific components and to avoid the high complexity of whole cells, neglecting by the way the influence of crowding. In the present study, we investigated cells of the order of Thermococcales, which are known to live under extreme conditions, in their intact form and after cell lysis to extract the effect of crowding on the molecular dynamics of the proteome and of water molecules. We found that some parameters characterizing the... |
