Abstract
Proteins are not isolated homogeneous systems. Each protein can exist in a very large number of conformations (conformational substates) that are characterized by an energy landscape. The main conformational motions, similar to the α and β fluctuations in glasses, are linked to fluctuations in the bulk solvent and the hydration shell.
