Conspectus Lipid membranes are more than just barriers between cell compartments; they
provide molecular environments with a finely tuned balance between hydrophilic and …

Lipid/water interfaces and associated interfacial water are vital for various biochemical
reactions, but the molecular-level understanding of their property is very limited. We …

The advent of laser-based sources of ultrafast infrared pulses has extended the study of very
fast molecular dynamics to the observation of processes manifested through their effects on …

The sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectrum from the water/[1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-
phosphatidylcholine](DMPC) interface in the OH stretching mode region of water is …

Hydration and orientation of the phosphate group of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)
monolayers in the liquid-expanded (LE) phase and the liquid-condensed (LC) phase in the …

Ordering of water structures near the surface of biological membranes has been recently
extensively studied using interface-selective techniques like vibrational sum frequency …

We investigate the structure and electronic properties of phosphatidylcholine (PC) under
different degrees of hydration at the single-molecule and monolayer type level by linear …

Understanding the electrostatics of lipid membranes at a molecular level has the potential to
offer great insight into the mechanism of voltage-gated processes but has been challenging …

Lipid multibilayers are excellent model systems for studying water structures and dynamics
near biological membrane surfaces. In particular, the orientational distribution and rotational …

Using a classical simulation protocol for nonlinear optical signals, we predict the two-
dimensional (2D) spectra of water near a monolayer of [1, 2-dimytristoyl-sn-glycero-3 …
