Do we underestimate the importance of water in cell biology?

M Chaplin - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2006 - nature.com
Liquid water is a highly versatile material. Although it is formed from the tiniest of molecules,
it can shape and control biomolecules. The hydrogen-bonding properties of water are …

Solvation dynamics in dipolar liquids

B Bagchi, B Jana - Chemical Society Reviews, 2010 - pubs.rsc.org
The time dependent response of a polar solvent to a changing charge distribution is studied
in solvation dynamics. The change in the energy of the solute is measured by a time domain …

Long-range protein–water dynamics in hyperactive insect antifreeze proteins

K Meister, S Ebbinghaus, Y Xu… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are specific proteins that are able to lower the freezing point of
aqueous solutions relative to the melting point. Hyperactive AFPs, identified in insects, have …

How protein surfaces induce anomalous dynamics of hydration water

F Pizzitutti, M Marchi, F Sterpone… - The Journal of Physical …, 2007 - ACS Publications
Water around biomolecules slows down with respect to pure water, and both rotation and
translation exhibit anomalous time dependence in the hydration shell. The origin of such …

Nature of biological water: a femtosecond study

K Bhattacharyya - Chemical communications, 2008 - pubs.rsc.org
The quasi-bound biological or structuredwater molecules in a protein play a key role in
many biological processes. The dynamics of the biological water has been studied by …

Structure and lifetimes in ionic liquids and their mixtures

S Gehrke, M von Domaros, R Clark, O Hollóczki… - Faraday …, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
With the aid of molecular dynamics simulations, we study the structure and dynamics of
different ionic liquid systems, with focus on hydrogen bond, ion pair and ion cage formation …

Hydrogen bond network of water around protein investigated with terahertz and infrared spectroscopy

K Shiraga, Y Ogawa, N Kondo - Biophysical journal, 2016 - cell.com
The dynamical and structural properties of water at protein interfaces were characterized on
the basis of the broadband complex dielectric constant (0.25 to 400 THz) of albumin …

Sampling the bulk viscosity of water with molecular dynamics simulation in the canonical ensemble

R Hafner, G Guevara-Carrion, J Vrabec… - The Journal of Physical …, 2022 - ACS Publications
The bulk viscosity, a transport coefficient in the Navier–Stokes equation, is often neglected in
the continuum mechanics of Newtonian fluids. Recently, however, the role of the bulk …

Structural studies of Myceliophthora Thermophila Laccase in the presence of deep eutectic solvents

In this work, we elucidated the interactions between Myceliophthora thermophila laccase
and deep eutectic solvent (DES) by crystallographic and kinetics analyses. Four types of …

Interfacial properties and salt tolerance of carboxylated nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants

H Gang, X He, X He, X Bao, J Liu, S Yang, Y Li… - Colloids and Surfaces A …, 2021 - Elsevier
Ionic alkoxy-based surfactants recently attract more attentions because they possess
advantages of both nonionic and anionic surfactants, and surfactant structure is the key …
