    Abstract Phospholipids and surfactants form membranes and other self-assembled structures in water. However, it is not fully understood how the surrounding water (hydration water) is involved in their structure formation. In this paper, I summarize the results of our investigation of the long-range hydration state of phospholipids and surfactants at their surfaces by means of terahertz spectroscopy. By observing the collective rotational dynamics of water in the picosecond time scale, this technique allows us to observe not only the water directly bound to the solute, but also the weakly affected water outside of it. For example, PC phospholipids inhibit water dynamics over long distances, whereas PE phospholipids make water more mobile than bulk water. The causes of this difference in hydration and how it is involved in the structural formation of the membrane are reviewed.

    Abstract Water is considered integral for the stabilization and function of proteins, which has recently attracted significant attention. However, the microscopic aspects of water ranging up to the second hydration shell, including strongly and weakly bound water at the sub-nanometer scale, are not yet well understood. Here, we combined terahertz spectroscopy, thermal measurements, and infrared spectroscopy to clarify how the strongly and weakly bound hydration water changes upon protein denaturation. With denaturation, that is, the exposure of hydrophobic groups in water and entanglement of hydrophilic groups, the number of strongly bound hydration water decreased, while the number of weakly bound hydration water increased. Even though the constraint of water due to hydrophobic hydration is weak, it extends to the second hydration shell as it is caused by the strengthening of hydrogen bonds between water molecules, which is likely the key microscopic mechanism for the destabilization of the native state due to hydration.

    Abstract There is a long, ongoing debate on how small molecules (osmolytes) affect the stability of proteins. The present study found that change in collective rotational dynamics of water in osmolyte solutions likely has a dominant effect on protein denaturation. According to THz spectroscopy analysis, osmolytes that stabilize proteins are accompanied by bound hydration water with slow dynamics, while the collective rotational dynamics of water is accelerated in the case of denaturant osmolytes. Among 15 osmolytes studied here, there is a good correlation between the change in mobility in terms of water rotational dynamics and the denaturation temperature of ribonuclease A. The changes in water dynamics due to osmolytes can be regarded as a pseudo-temperature-change, which agrees well with the change in protein denaturation temperature. These results indicate that the molecular dynamics of water around the protein is a key factor for protein denaturation.

    Abstract This work investigates the water fraction dependence of the aggregation behavior of hydrophobic solutes in water-tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the elucidation of the role of THF using fluorescence microscopy, dynamic light scattering, neutron and X-ray scattering, and photoluminescence measurements. On the basis of the obtained results, the following model is proposed: hydrophobic molecules are molecularly dispersed in the low-water-content region (10-20 vol %), while they form mesoscopic particles upon increasing the water fraction to ∼30 vol %. This abrupt change is due to the composition fluctuation of the water-THF binary system to form hydrophobic areas in THF, followed by THF-rich droplets where hydrophobic solutes are incorporated and form loose aggregates. Further increasing the water content prompts the desolvation of THF, which decreases the particle size and generates tight aggregates of solute molecules. This model is consistent with the luminescence behavior of the solutes and will be helpful to control the aggregation state of hydrophobic solutes in various applications.

    Abstract Hydration states are a crucial factor that affect the self-assembly and properties of soft materials and biomolecules. Although previous experiments have revealed that the hydration state strongly depends on the chemical structure of lipid molecules, the mechanisms at the molecular level remain unknown. Classical and density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to determine the mechanisms underlying dissimilar water dynamics between lipid membranes with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) head groups. The classical MD simulation shows that rotational relaxations of water are faster on the PE lipid than on the PC lipid, which is consistent with a previous experimental study using terahertz spectroscopy. Furthermore, DFTB-MD simulation of N(CH

    Abstract Hydration states are a crucial factor that affect the self-assembly and properties of soft materials and biomolecules. Although previous experiments have revealed that the hydration state strongly depends on the chemical structure of lipid molecules, the mechanisms at the molecular level remain unknown. Classical and density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to determine the mechanisms underlying dissimilar water dynamics between lipid membranes with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) head groups. The classical MD simulation shows that rotational relaxations of water are faster on the PE lipid than on the PC lipid, which is consistent with a previous experimental study using terahertz spectroscopy. Furthermore, DFTB-MD simulation of N(CH₃)₄⁺ and NH₄⁺ ions, which correspond to the different head groups in PC and PE, respectively, shows qualitative agreement with the classical MD simulation. Remarkably, the PE lipids and the NH₄⁺ ions break hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the secondary hydration shell. In contrast, the PC lipids and the N(CH₃)₄⁺ ions bind water molecules weakly in both the primary and secondary hydration shells and increase hydrogen bonds between water. Our atomistic simulations show that these changes in the hydrogen-bond network of water molecules cause the different rotational relaxation of water molecules between the two lipids.

    Abstract In some synthetic polymers used for medical applications, hydration water in the vicinity of the polymer chains is known to play an important role in biocompatibility and is referred to as intermediate water. The crystallization of water below 0 °C observed during thermal analysis has been considered as evidence of the presence of intermediate water. However, the origin and physicochemical properties of intermediate water have not yet been elucidated. In this study, as a typical biocompatible polymer, poly(ethylene oxide) and its hydration water were investigated with the use of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The obtained results prove the existence of a significant amount of mobile water that interacts with the polymer chains even when the water content is low at physiological temperatures.
