Up to 40% of intracellular water is confined due to the dense packing of macromolecules,
ions, and osmolytes. Despite the large body of work concerning the effect of additives on the …

The intrinsic volume of a molecule in solution can be calculated with the help of Voronoi
tessellation. It is suggested to extend it to components of the solution and to use it as a new …

The potentially damaging action of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on phospholipid bilayers
remains a matter of controversy. We have conducted a series of long-scale molecular …

In this work we report a new potential model for classical molecular dynamics (MD)
simulation of two dipolar aprotic solvents–propylene carbonate (PC) and γ-butyrolactone …

The microscopic structure of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) aqueous solutions was investigated
by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ultrafast IR spectroscopy. The …

Molecular level studies have the potential to reveal the protective mechanism of
cryoprotectants during the cryopreservation of bio-samples. The Raman spectra of the VS55 …

Molecular dynamics simulations of mixtures of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with water of
various compositions, covering the entire composition range, are performed on the …

Hydrogen bond (HB) network in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions at different
concentrations has been observed by oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy with a …

Maggot kinase, a novel fibrinolytic enzyme source, has been isolated from fly maggots and
comprehensively characterized. Using CM-52 ion exchange chromatography and affinity …

Potential applications of previously synthesized pillared graphene oxide frameworks with
phenyldiboronic acid linkers in the field of the adsorption and separation of polar protic and …
