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…
