How many solvent molecules and in what way do they interact directly with biomolecules? This is one of the most challenging questions regarding a deep understanding of biomolecular functionalism and solvation. We herein present a novel NMR spectroscopic study,...

Surface-initiated SET-LRP was used to synthesize polymer brush containing N-isopropylacrylamide and adamantyl acrylate using Cu(I)Cl/Me6-TREN as precursor catalyst and isopropanol/H2O as solvent. Different reaction conditions were explored to investigate the influence...

Quantum dynamics simulations are used to test and validate the hypothesis that enhanced electronic activity and energetic efficiency in hydrated proteins are due to water-mediated proton hopping between peptide and peptenol states. Water is thereby an integral part of...
