Hydrogen-bond dynamics near a micellar surface: origin of the universal slow relaxation at complex aqueous interfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of hydrogen bonds among water molecules themselves and with the polar head groups (PHG) at a micellar surface have been investigated by long molecular dynamics simulations. The lifetime of the hydrogen bond between a PHG and a water molecule is found to be much longer than that between any two water molecules, and is likely to be a general feature of hydrophilic surfaces of organized assemblies. Analyses of individual water trajectories suggest that water molecules can remain bound to the micellar surface for more than 100 ps. The activation energy for such a transition from the bound to a free state for the water molecules is estimated to be about 3.5 kcal/mol.

Anomalous dielectric relaxation of water molecules at the surface of an aqueous micelle.
Dielectric relaxation of aqueous solutions of micelles, proteins, and many complex systems shows an anomalous dispersion at frequencies intermediate between those corresponding to the rotational motion of bulk water and that of the organized assembly or macromolecule. The precise origin of this anomalous dispersion is not well-understood. In this work we employ large scale atomistic molecular d...
متن کاملVibrational echo correlation spectroscopy probes of hydrogen bond dynamics in water and methanol.
Multidimensional vibrational echo correlation spectroscopy with full phase resolution is used to measure hydrogen bond dynamics in water and methanol. The OD hydroxyl stretches of methanol-OD oligomers in CCl(4) and HOD in H(2)O are studied using the shortest mid-IR pulses (<50 fs, <4 cycles of light) produced to date. The pulses have sufficient spectral bandwidth to span the very broad (>400 c...

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H+ + Mo(VI) + histidine and H+ +histidine have been determined at different aqueous solutions of methanol (0 - 45 % v/v) at 25 °C andconstant ionic strength (0.1 mol dm-3 sodium perchlorate), using a combination of spectrophotometricand potentiometric techniques. The composition of the complex species was determined by thecontinuous v...
متن کاملDynamics of water interacting with interfaces, molecules, and ions.
Water is a critical component of many chemical processes, in fields as diverse as biology and geology. Water in chemical, biological, and other systems frequently occurs in very crowded situations: the confined water must interact with a variety of interfaces and molecular groups, often on a characteristic length scale of nanometers. Water's behavior in diverse environments is an important cont...
متن کاملFemtosecond Hydrogen Bond Dynamics of Bulk‐like and Bound Water at Positively and Negatively Charged Lipid Interfaces Revealed by 2D HD‐VSFG Spectroscopy
Interfacial water in the vicinity of lipids plays an important role in many biological processes, such as drug delivery, ion transportation, and lipid fusion. Hence, molecular-level elucidation of the properties of water at lipid interfaces is of the utmost importance. We report the two-dimensional heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (2D HD-VSFG) study of the OH stretch of ...
