Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Hydrophobic Solutes in Liquid Water
The hydrophobic e ect of small apolar solutes is studied by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. Interactions between two solutes can be described by the potential of mean force (PMF). The general feature of the PMF between two solutes in water is a potential barrier separating a stable contact con guration and a meta-stable solventseparated con guration. Interestingly, compared with classical M...
متن کاملOrigin of hydrophobicity and enhanced water hydrogen bond strength near purely hydrophobic solutes.
Hydrophobicity plays an important role in numerous physicochemical processes from the process of dissolution in water to protein folding, but its origin at the fundamental level is still unclear. The classical view of hydrophobic hydration is that, in the presence of a hydrophobic solute, water forms transient microscopic "icebergs" arising from strengthened water hydrogen bonding, but there is...
متن کاملHydrophobic hydration from small to large lengthscales: Understanding and manipulating the crossover.
Small and large hydrophobic solutes exhibit remarkably different hydration thermodynamics. Small solutes are accommodated in water with minor perturbations to water structure, and their hydration is captured accurately by theories that describe density fluctuations in pure water. In contrast, hydration of large solutes is accompanied by dewetting of their surfaces and requires a macroscopic the...
متن کاملHydration of hydrophobic biological porphyrins.
Explicit solvent, single solute molecular dynamics simulations of protoporphyrin IX and its Fe(2+) complex (heme) in water were performed. The relation of solute-solvent was examined through the spatial distribution functions of water molecules around the centroid of the porphyrin ring. A detailed description of the time-averaged structure of water surrounding the solutes as well as of its fluc...
متن کاملStructure and Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Small Molecules and Proteins
Ab4'uci.t — The structures and reactivities of proteins are markedly influenced by water. In conformational energy calculations, the hydration of proteins is treated by a hydration-shell model. Originally, the shell model was parameterized with exoerimental data, but more recently empirical potentials were introduced to obtain these parameters by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics techniques. T...
