Interplay between hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions in the self-assembly of a gemini amphiphilic pseudopeptide: from nano-spheres to hydrogels [PDF]
, 2012 The formation of soluble nano-spheres or stable hydrogels through the self-assembling of a simple gemini amphiphilic pseudopeptide can be controlled by the tuning of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions in aqueous ...

Local Interactions in Aqueous Ethanol Solution Revealed by the C=O Stretching Probe
MoleculesAccurately identifying local interactions such as hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is of critical importance in regulating the functions of amphiphilic biomolecules, but in situ identification methods for such interactions are still lacking.

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2019 In the course of crystal-engineering experiments, crystals of the hydrated title salt, Na10[Pd2Cl6](C4H9SO3)8·4H2O, were obtained from a water/2-propanol solution of sodium n-butanesulfonate and sodium tetrachloridopalladate(II). In the crystal, sodium n-

Crossovers in supercooled solvation water: Effects of hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2015 We use systematic 8 ns ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to study the structure and dynamics of water in bulk, and close to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic (carbonyl) groups of tetramethylurea (TMU). We observe crossovers in the dynamical behavior around the hydrophobic group at $T_X = 256 \pm 4$K and another one at $265 \pm 5$K related to the ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
