| 1 | We use extended depolarized light scattering spectroscopy to study the dynamics of water in a lysozyme-trehalose aqueous solution over a broad time scale, from hundreds to fractions of picoseconds. | Water | lysozyme | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | By comparing aqueous solutions of lysozyme with and without trehalose, we show that the combined action of sugar and protein produces an exceptional dynamic slowdown of a fraction of water molecules around the protein, which become more than twice slower than in the absence of trehalose. | Water | lysozyme | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | On the basis of these findings, we believe such ultraslow water close to the lysozyme is likely to be involved in the mechanism of bioprotection. | Water | lysozyme | Homo sapiens |
