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. |
