[Appearance of fractal properties of globular proteins at low temperatures].
The dependence on temperature of the heat capacity of cytochrome c has been measured in the range 4-40 K at various water content. The fractal (Hausdorff) dimension of the protein (D) has been determined and shown to depend on the rate of protein hydration (1.1 < D < 1.9). The intrinsic energy of the globule is a uniform function of the dimension of the order (D + 1).
