Enhanced Hydrogen Bonding to Water Can Explain the Outstanding Solubility of \b{eta}-D-Glucose in Water

Imre Bakó, László Pusztai, Szilvia Pothoczki

Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been performed on aqueous solutions of four simple sugars, α-D-glucose, \b{eta}-D-glucose, α-D-mannose and α-D-galactose. Hydro…
