Abstract Liquid state Overhauser effect Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (ODNP) has
experienced a recent resurgence of interest. The ODNP technique described here relies on …

The general trend in soft matter is to study systems of increasing complexity which are more
technologically and biologically relevant. This is facilitated by the capability of quasielastic …

Hydrophobic hydration, the perturbation of the aqueous solvent near an apolar solute or
interface, is a fundamental ingredient in many chemical and biological processes. Both bulk …

Water 2H and 17O spin relaxation is used to study water dynamics in the hydration layers of
two small peptides, two globular proteins and in living cells of two microorganisms. The …

The origin of the peculiar amide spectral features of proteins in aqueous solution is
investigated, by exploiting a combined theoretical and experimental approach to study UV …

We performed classical molecular dynamics simulations using both fixed-charge and
polarizable water and protein force fields to contrast the hydration dynamics near hydrophilic …

We have studied the influence of the amphiphilic model peptide N-acetyl-leucine-
methylamide (NALMA) on the dynamics of water using extended frequency range …

The effect of variation of the water model on the temperature dependence of protein and
hydration water dynamics is examined by performing molecular dynamics simulations of …

Water properties may significantly affect protein stability. Osmolytes are compounds that
intrinsically affect water in many different ways and thus can influence proteins with this type …

We report quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments to contrast the water dynamics as a
function of temperature for hydrophilic and amphiphilic peptides under the same level of …
