a The 9.1 wt% lysozyme solution. b Pure water. The means \(\pm\) standard deviations of five measurements are shown. HTC and GC values are indicated by dashed lines. The 0.1-THz-induced decrease in \({\varepsilon }_{{{{{{\rm{\gamma }}}}}}1}\left(\infty \right)\) is indicated by an arrow. \({\varepsilon }_{{{\rm{\gamma 1}}}}\left(\infty \right)\) represents the high-frequency limit of slow water relaxation, \({\varepsilon }_{{{\rm{\gamma 1}}}}\left(s\right)\) represents the static slow water relaxation, and \({{f}}_{{{\rm{c\gamma 1}}}}\) represents the slow water relaxation frequency.
