Effective diffusion coefficients of apoMb at pD 6. The blue diamond is the translational diffusion obtained by DLS, the orange curve the Dtrans−rot function calculated for 2v1k.pdb. Inset: The difference between the NSE data and the Dtrans−rot (red data points) can be attributed to the first non-trivial normal mode of the structure (black line), which corresponds to the opening of two helices to allow the acces to the heme-group.
