Water in nonpolar confinement: from nanotubes to proteins and beyondJayendran C Rasaiah
Department of Chemistry, University of Maine, Orono, Maine 04469, USA
Annu Rev Phys Chem 59:713-40. 2008..The unusual properties of water in nonpolar confinement are also relevant to the design of novel nanofluidic and molecular separation devices or fuel cells...
Water in the polar and nonpolar cavities of the protein interleukin-1βHao Yin
Department of Chemistry, University of Maine, Orono, Maine 04469, United States
J Phys Chem B 114:16290-7. 2010....
Entropy of single-file water in (6,6) carbon nanotubesAparna Waghe
Department of Chemistry, University of Maine, Orono, Maine 04469 5706, USA
J Chem Phys 137:044709. 2012..Overall, for realistic carbon-water interactions we expect that at ambient conditions filling of a (6,6) carbon nanotube open to a water reservoir is driven by a favorable decrease in energy, and opposed by a small loss of water entropy...
Metastable water clusters in the nonpolar cavities of the thermostable protein tetrabrachionHao Yin
Department of Chemistry, University of Maine, Orono, Maine 04469 5706, USA
J Am Chem Soc 129:7369-77. 2007..We suggest that the large hydrophobic cavities may act as binding sites for two proteases, possibly explaining the unusual thermostability of the resulting protease-stalk complexes (up to approximately 393 K, 120 degrees C)...
Water clusters in nonpolar cavitiesSubramanian Vaitheeswaran
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Building 5, Bethesda, MD 20892-0520, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:17002-5. 2004..Water penetration into pores can thus be modulated by small changes in the polarity and structure of the cavity. Implications on water penetration into proteins are discussed...
Electric field and temperature effects on water in the narrow nonpolar pores of carbon nanotubesSubramanian Vaitheeswaran
Laboratory of Chemical Physics, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Building 5, Bethesda, MD 20892-0520, USA
J Chem Phys 121:7955-65. 2004..We also discuss implications for proton transfer reactions in biology...
