ABSTRACT
Linear and nonlinear dielectric responses of solutions of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) were analyzed by combining molecular dynamics simulations with formal theories. A large increment of the linear dielectric function over that of the solvent is found and related to large dipole moments of IDPs. The nonlinear dielectric effect (NDE) of the IDP far exceeds that of the bulk electrolyte, offering a route to interrogate protein conformational and rotational statistics and dynamics. Conformational flexibility of the IDP makes the dipole moment statistics consistent with the gamma/log-normal distributions and contributes to the NDE through the dipole moment's non-Gaussian parameter. The intrinsic non-Gaussian parameter of the dipole moment combines with the protein osmotic compressibility in the nonlinear dielectric susceptibility when dipolar correlations are screened by the electrolyte. The NDE is dominated by dipolar correlations when electrolyte screening is reduced.
