Experiments by Chrétien and coworkers suggest that mitochondria are 10° C hotter than
their surroundings. Steady-state theoretical estimates place this difference at a maximum of …

Water drives the spontaneous self-assembly of lipids and proteins into quasi two-
dimensional biological membranes that act as catalytic scaffolds for numerous processes …

It has long been proposed that the hydrated excess proton in water (aka the solvated
“hydronium” cation) likely has two limiting forms, that of the Eigen cation (H9O4+) and that of …

Given the critical role of the aqueous excess proton in redox chemistry, determining its
structure and the mechanism of its transport in water are intense areas of experimental and …

A molecular description of the structure and behavior of water confined in aluminosilicate
zeolite pores is a crucial component for understanding zeolite acid chemistry under hydrous …

Abstract The Zundel (H 5 O 2+) and Eigen (H 9 O 4+) cations play an important role as
intermediate structures for proton transfer processes in liquid water. In the gas phase they …

The structure of the excess proton in liquid water has been the subject of lively debate on
both experimental and theoretical fronts for the last century. Fluctuations of the proton are …

The protonation behavior of zeolite Brønsted acid sites (BAS) in the presence of water is
important for the performance of these widely used catalysts. Despite extensive study, the …

The theoretical basis for linking spectral signatures of hydrated excess protons with
microscopic proton-transfer mechanisms has so far relied on normal-mode analysis. We …

Water molecules and the associated proton transfer (PT) are prevalent in chemical and
biological systems and have been a hot research topic. Spectroscopic characterization and …
