摘要：

The coherent density fluctuations propagating through DNA hydration water were studied by neutron scattering spectroscopy. Two collective modes were found to be sustained by the aqueous solvent: a propagating excitation, characterised by a speed of about 3500 m/s, and another one placed at about 6 meV. These results globally agree with those previously found for the coherent excitations in bulk water, although in DNA hydration water the speed of propagating modes is definitely higher than that of the pure solvent. The short-wavelength collective excitations of DNA hydration water are reminiscent of those observed in protein hydration water and in the amorphous forms of ice.
