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 …

Water interfaces provide the platform for many important biological, chemical, and physical
processes. The water–air interface is the most common and simple aqueous interface and …

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 …

Here we perform a comprehensive study of ultrafast molecular and vibrational dynamics of
water confined in small reversed micelles (RMs). The molecular picture is elucidated with …

The surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is widely used as a detergent for both domestic
and industrial applications. It forms a self-assembled monolayer on the surface of water. We …

As a simple and efficient technique, the solvent-assisted lipid bilayer (SALB) formation
method offers a versatile approach to fabricating a planar lipid bilayer on solid supports …

The vibrational modes of the deoxyribose-phosphodiester backbone moiety of DNA and
their interactions with the interfacial aqueous environment are addressed with two …

The structure and dynamics of phospholipid reverse micelles are studied by molecular
dynamics. We report all-atom unconstrained simulations of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn …

The properties of biomembranes depend in a decisive way on interactions of phospholipids
with hydrating water molecules. To map structural dynamics of a phospholipid–water …

The hydration energy of an ion largely resides within the first few layers of water molecules
in its hydration shell. Hence, it is important to understand the transformation of water …
