Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of water in biological recognition.
Samir Kumar Pal,Ahmed H. Zewail +1 more
TL;DR: Almost all biological macromoleculess proteins and DNAs are inactive in the absence of water, and the role of hydration in enzyme catalysis is well known and has recently been reviewed in a number of publications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excited-state proton coupled charge transfer modulated by molecular structure and media polarization
TL;DR: With knowledge of the mechanisms of these processes, desired rates and directions can be achieved, and thus the multiple emission spectral features can be harnessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bond by any other name
TL;DR: Recently, a recommendation has been made to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) suggesting an updated definition of the term hydrogen bond, which will be discussed in greater detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological water: femtosecond dynamics of macromolecular hydration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the issues guided by experimental studies, from this laboratory, of polar hydration dynamics at the surfaces of two proteins (Subtilisin Carlsberg (SC) and Monellin).

Optical Constants of Water in the 200-nm to 200-microm Wavelength Region.
George M. Hale,Marvin R. Querry +1 more
TL;DR: Extinction coefficients k(lambda) for water at 25 degrees C were determined through a broad spectral region by manually smoothing a point by point graph of k( lambda) vs wavelength lambda that was plotted for data obtained from a review of the scientific literature on the optical constants of water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of glasses from liquids and biopolymers.
TL;DR: The onset of a sharp change in ddT( is the Debye-Waller factor and T is temperature) in proteins, which is controversially indentified with the glass transition in liquids, is shown to be general for glass formers and observable in computer simulations of strong and fragile ionic liquids, where it proves to be close to the experimental glass transition temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The energy landscapes and motions of proteins.
TL;DR: The concepts that emerge from studies of the conformational substates and the motions between them permit a quantitative discussion of one simple reaction, the binding of small ligands such as carbon monoxide to myoglobin.

Classical Electrostatics in Biology and Chemistry
Barry Honig,Anthony Nicholls +1 more
TL;DR: A major revival in the use of classical electrostatics as an approach to the study of charged and polar molecules in aqueous solution has been made possible through the development of fast numerical and computational methods to solve the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for solute molecules that have complex shapes and charge distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Areas, volumes, packing and protein structure.
TL;DR: This review is concerned with the packing of groups of atoms in proteins and with the area of solvent-protein interfaces.
