Modeling has predicted that intramolecular structural vibrations enables proteins to access functionally important structural change. We show that the vibrational density of states and the isotropic absorption in the terahertz range are only weakly dependent on the protein functional state for several bench marking proteins. At the same time the direction of motions changes dramatically with functional state and with a resulting impact on the anisotropic absorption. Our anisotropic THz microscopy (ATM) measurements confirm this sensitivity. Here we apply the technique to the question of whether the protein dynamical transition (DT) is important to protein function. We find a strong anisotropic resonance at 70 cm(-1) rapidly increases in strength at temperatures above the DT. As these intramolecular vibrations enable protein structure to change conformation, the results suggest function will cease below DT for those proteins that require large scale conformational change.
