The measurements of angle dependencies of total and elastic Rayleigh scattering of Mossbauer radiation intensities have been performed for human serum albumin (HSA) with hydration degrees h = 0.13 and h = 0.4. The extended model was developed for calculating the inelastic intensity of Rayleigh scattering. Original data for HSA and published data on met-Mb were fitted within the frame of this model. The best agreement with experiment was obtained when two types of intraglobular motions were taken into account: individual motions of small side-chain groups and cooperative (mechanical) motions of segments (most probable alpha-helices). Long-range correlated motions are essential at low hydration degree. The possibilities of application of the coherent version of RSMS technique are described.
