Hydration and hydrogen bond network of water around hydrophobic surface investigated by terahertz spectroscopy.
Water conformation around hydrophobic side chains of four amino acids (glycine, L-alanine, L-aminobutyric acid, and L-norvaline) was investigated via changes in complex dielectric constant in the terahertz (THz) region. Each of these amino acids has the same hydrophilic backbone, with successive additions of hydrophobic straight methylene groups (-CH2-) to the side chain. Changes in the degree ...
متن کاملHydration dynamics of oriented DNA films investigated by time-domain terahertz spectroscopy
The B to A conformational transition of highly oriented DNA films due to a hydration change is observed with time-domain terahertz spectroscopy. Wet-spun films of calf thymus and salmon DNA are investigated for different film thicknesses and for different polarizations of the terahertz radiation relative to the DNA orientation. A clear polarization dependence is observed. Asynchronous optical s...
متن کاملTerahertz Laser Spectroscopy of the Water Pentamer: Structure and Hydrogen Bond Rearrangement Dynamics
The detailed analysis of a parallel vibration-rotation-tunneling (VRT) band of the isolated cyclic perdeuterated (d10) water pentamer measured near 2.4 THz (81.2 cm-1) is presented. The vibrationally averaged rotational constants correspond rigorously to those of a quasiplanar (C5h) oblate top whereas the equilibrium cyclic structure is predicted to be slightly asymmetric due to puckering of th...
متن کاملAnomalies of water and hydrogen bond dynamics in hydrophobic nanoconfinement.
Using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations of the TIP5P model of water, we investigate the effect of hydrophobic confinement on the anomalies of liquid water. For confinement length Lz = 1.1 nm, such that there are 2-3 molecular layers of water, we find the presence of the bulk-like density and diffusion anomaly in the lateral directions. However, the lines of these anomalies in the P-T plane are...
متن کاملSolute-induced retardation of water dynamics probed directly by terahertz spectroscopy.
The dynamics of water surrounding a solute is of fundamental importance in chemistry and biology. The properties of water molecules near the surface of a bio-molecule have been the subject of numerous, sometimes controversial experimental and theoretical studies, with some suggesting the existence of rather rigid water structures around carbohydrates and proteins [Pal, S. K., Peon, J., Bagchi, ...
