Hydration Mimicry by Membrane Ion Channels
Mangesh I. Chaudhari, Juan M. Vanegas, L. R. Pratt +2
Ions transiting biomembranes might pass readily from water through ion-specific membrane proteins if those protein channels provide environments similar to the aqueous solution hyd…
Quasi-Chemical Theory for Anion Hydration and Specific Ion Effects: Cl(aq) \emph{vs.} F(aq)
A. Muralidharan, L. R. Pratt, M. I. Chaudhari +1
Anion hydration is complicated by H-bond donation between neighboring water molecules in addition to H-bond donation to the anion. This situation can lead to competing structures f…
Long-Range Interactions Dominate the Inverse-Temperature Dependence of Polypeptide Hydration Free Energies
Dheeraj S. Tomar, Michael E. Paulaitis, Lawrence R. Pratt +1
Direct, all-atom calculations of the free energy of hydration of aqueous deca-alanine structures --- holistically including backbone and side-chain interactions together --- show t…
