The structure and function of biomolecules are strongly influenced by their hydration shells.
Structural fluctuations and molecular excitations of hydrating water molecules cover a broad …

The biological activity of proteins depends on their three-dimensional structure, known as
the native state. The main force driving the correct folding mechanism is the hydrophobic …

Here we present both subnanometer imaging of three-dimensional (3D) hydration structures
using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics simulations of the calcite …

We all know that water is essential for life on Earth. 1− 3 Its multifarious functions hardly
need any further elaboration. 4− 7 It not only stabilizes proteins, DNA, and lipid membranes …

Since the pioneering works of Pethig, Grant, and Wüthrich on a protein hydration layer,
many studies have been devoted to find out if there are any “general and universal” …

The behaviors of an asphaltene model compound, N-(1-undecyldodecyl)-N′-(5-
carboxylicpentyl)-perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylbisimide (C5PeC11), in the absence and …

In nature, water is often found in contact with surfaces that are extended on the scale of
molecule size but small on a macroscopic scale. Examples include lipid bilayers and …

New Cδ–H⋯ O histidine hydrogen bonding interactions in various proteins are identified by
neutron diffraction and computationally characterized. Neutron diffraction data shows …

Frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) experiments were performed on
the calcite (10$\bar {1} $4) surface in pure water, and a detailed analysis was made of the …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and biased MD simulation were carried out for the
neutral form of Paracetamol inserted in fully hydrated dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine …
