疏水水化动力学的曲率依赖性

Curvature Dependence of Hydrophobic Hydration Dynamics

R. Gregor Weiß, Matthias Heyden, Joachim Dzubiella

摘要:

我们采用分子动力学模拟研究了疏水球形溶质附近水动力学的曲率依赖性。对于这两个,横向和垂直的扩散,以及H-键动力学的水在第一水化壳,我们发现一个非单调的溶质大小的依赖性,表现出极端接近众所周知的结构交叉长度尺度疏水水化。此外,我们发现了一个明显的反常扩散的水平行于小溶质的表面移动,然而,可以解释的拓扑结构效应。溶质曲率,水的结构和动力学之间的密切联系对我们理解异质生物分子表面的水合动力学具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

We investigate the curvature-dependence of water dynamics in the vicinity of hydrophobic spherical solutes using molecular dynamics simulations. For both, the lateral and perpendicular diffusivity as well as for H-bond kinetics of water in the first hydration shell, we find a non-monotonic solute-size dependence, exhibiting extrema close to the well-known structural crossover length scale for hydrophobic hydration. Additionally, we find an apparently anomalous diffusion for water moving parallel to the surface of small solutes, which, however, can be explained by topology effects. The intimate connection between solute curvature, water structure and dynamics has implications for our understanding of hydration dynamics at heterogeneous biomolecular surfaces.
