Machine learning evaluation of structural descriptors for supercooled water
Kohei Yoshikawa, Kokoro Shikata, Kang Kim +1
The anomalous behavior of liquid water is widely associated with a liquid-liquid phase transition between high- and low-density states in the supercooled regime. At the microscopic…
Classification of interfacial water governed by water-polymer interactions in hydrated polymers: A molecular dynamics simulation study of ethylene-based and acrylate polymers
Atsuki Hashimoto, Kokoro Shikata, Kang Kim +1
We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate hydration structures and dynamics in seven water-containing polymers: PVA, PHEA, PHEMA, PBA, PMEMA, PEG, and PMEA. The anal…
Dual effect of cholesterol on interfacial water dynamics in lipid membranes: Interplay between membrane packing and hydration
Kokoro Shikata, Kento Kasahara, Nozomi Morishita Watanabe +3
Water contained within biological membranes plays a critical role in maintaining the separation between intracellular and extracellular environments and facilitating biochemical pr…
Influence of cholesterol on hydrogen-bond dynamics of water molecules in lipid-bilayer systems at varying temperatures
Kokoro Shikata, Kento Kasahara, Nozomi Morishita Watanabe +3
Cholesterol (Chol) plays a crucial role in shaping the intricate physicochemical attributes of biomembranes, exerting considerable influence on water molecules proximal to the memb…
Revealing the hidden dynamics of confined water in acrylate polymers: Insights from hydrogen-bond lifetime analysis
Kokoro Shikata, Takuma Kikutsuji, Nobuhiro Yasoshima +2
Polymers contain functional groups that participate in hydrogen bond (H-bond) with water molecules, establishing a robust H-bond network that influences bulk properties. This study…
