Structure of water at charged interfaces: a molecular dynamics study.
The properties of water molecules located close to an interface deviate significantly from those observed in the homogeneous bulk liquid. The length scale over which this structural perturbation persists (the so-called interfacial depth) is the object of extensive investigations. The situation is particularly complicated in the presence of surface charges that can induce long-range orientationa...
متن کاملWater at Interfaces.
The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are ultrathin water films that cover most hydrophilic surfaces under ambient relative humidities, the liquid/solid interface which drives many electrochemical reactions, and the liquid/vapor interface, which governs the uptake and releas...
متن کاملWater at biomolecular binding interfaces.
Water molecules are often found at the binding interface of biomolecular complexes mediating the interaction between polar groups via hydrogen bonds, or simply filling space providing van der Waals interactions. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of taking such water molecules into account in docking and binding affinity prediction. Here, we review the recent experimental and theor...
متن کاملEditorial: Molecular Dynamics at the Immunological Synapse
The immunological synapse (IS) is a specialized cell–cell adhesion that mediates antigen acquisition , lymphocyte activation, and effector function. Seminal studies showed a structure composed of stable central and peripheral supramolecular activation clusters (cSMAC and pSMAC) organized at the interface of interacting helper T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. The T cell receptor (TCR) and signal...
متن کاملTheoretical Studies of Solid-Liquid Interfaces: Molecular Interactions at the MgO(001)-Water Interface
We have applied a novel theoretical and computational method called CECILIA (combined embedded cluster at the interface with liquid approach) to study adsorption of molecular water on the MgO(001) surface and its interface with water. The MgO(001) surface is modeled by a quantum cluster embedded in a field of pseudopotentials and point charges. The effects of an aqueous environment are included...
