Molecular probe dynamics reveals suppression of ice-like regions in strongly confined supercooled water. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The structure of the hydrogen bond network is a key element for understanding water's thermodynamic and kinetic anomalies. While ambient water is strongly believed to be a uniform, continuous hydrogen-bonded liquid, there is growing consensus that ...

Protonation Equilibrium in the Active Site of the Photoactive Yellow Protein
Molecules, 2021 The role and existence of low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) in enzymatic and protein activity has been largely debated. An interesting case is that of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP).

On the electronic nature of low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzymatic reactions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 The electronic nature of low-barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHBs) in enzymatic reactions is discussed based on combined low temperature neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments and on high level ab initio calculations by using the model substrate benzoylacetone.

Hydrophobic Molecules Slow Down the Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics of Water [PDF]
, 2011 We study the spectral and orientational dynamics of HDO molecules in solutions of tertiary-butyl-alcohol (TBA), trimethyl-amine-oxide (TMAO), and tetramethylurea (TMU) in isotopically diluted water (HDO:D2O and HDO:H2O). The spectral dynamics are studied

Low-barrier hydrogen bonds in enzyme cooperativity
Nature, 2019 The underlying molecular mechanisms of cooperativity and allosteric regulation are well understood for many proteins, with haemoglobin and aspartate transcarbamoylase serving as prototypical examples1,2. The binding of effectors typically causes a structural transition of the protein that is propagated through signalling pathways to remote sites and ...

Proton-mediated photoprotection mechanism in photosystem II
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Photo-induced charge separation, which is terminated by electron transfer from the primary quinone QA to the secondary quinone QB, provides the driving force for O2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII).

Hydrogen-Bond-Promoted ORR Mechanism in P‑Doped Fe–N–C Materials
, 2023 P-doping has been widely adopted in M–N–C materials to enhance the catalytic activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the ORR mechanism of P-doping remains elusive. Herein, based on the first-principles calculations, the stability of P-doped
