Effect of temperature, pressure, and cosolvents on structural and dynamic properties of the hydration shell of SNase: a molecular dynamics computer simulation study
Article Abstract:
The effects of a chaotropic and kosmotropic agent as well as temperature and pressure on the hydration shell of a well-characterized monomeric protein, staphylococcal nuclease (SNase) are compared. The thermodynamic variables, temperature, pressure and chemical potential of the solvent have affected the stability and function of the protein by protein-solvent dynamic coupling in different ways.

Properties of spanning water networks at protein surfaces
Article Abstract:
The way the spanning water network appears at the surface of model hydrophilic spheres and at the surface of a single protein molecule is demonstrated. Essential correlations of the linear extension, radius of gyration and position of the center of mass of the largest water cluster with its size are found.

Water clustering and percolation in low hydration DNA shells
Article Abstract:
The hydrogen-bonded networks of water at the surface of a model DNA molecule are investigated. The outcomes ratify the proposed correlation between the water percolation and the low hydration polymorphism in DNA.
