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 …

This paper presents an overview of recent experiments and theoretical developments aimed
at using vibrational spectroscopy to understand the structure and dynamics of nitrile-labeled …

Crystallisable polymers represent a large share of the polymers used for manufacturing a
wide variety of objects, and consequently have received continuous attention from scientists …

DNA and RNA sequences rich in guanine can fold into noncanonical structures called G-
quadruplexes (GQs), which exhibit a common stem structure of Hoogsteen hydrogen …

Transport properties (translational and rotational) of water in the two grooves of the B-DNA
duplex are known to be different from those in the bulk. Here, we use a recently developed …

Recent time domain experiments have explored solvation dynamics of a probe located
inside a DNA duplex, in an effort to gain information, eg, on the dynamics of water molecules …

This book provides a broad and complete introductions to the molecular structure, novel and
anomalous properties, nonlinear excitations, soliton motions, magnetization, and biological …

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 …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of more than 40 model systems of dry and hydrated
poly (pyromellitimide-1, 4-diphenyl ether)(PMDA-ODA) polyimide, also known as Kapton …

Molecular dynamics simulations of the orientational dynamics of water molecules confined
in narrow carbon nanotubes and nanorings reveal that confinement leads to strong …
