    Abstract The elucidation of the energy dissipation process is crucial for understanding various phenomena occurring in nature. Yet, the vibrational relaxation and its timescale at the water interface, where the hydrogen-bonding network is truncated, are not well understood and are still under debate. In the present study, we focus on the OH stretch of interfacial water at the air/water interface and investigate its vibrational relaxation by femtosecond time-resolved, heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation (TR-HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. The temporal change of the vibrationally excited hydrogen-bonded (HB) OH stretch band (ν=1→2 transition) is measured, enabling us to determine reliable vibrational relaxation (T

    Abstract Reactions at the interface between water and other phases play important roles in nature and in various chemical systems. Although some experimental and theoretical studies suggest that chemical reactions at water interfaces can be different from those in bulk water-for example, 'on-water catalysis' and the activation of photochemically inert fatty acids at the air-water interface upon photoexcitation-directly investigating these differences and generating molecular-level understanding has proved difficult. Here, we report on the direct probing of a photochemical reaction occurring at the air-water interface, using ultrafast phase-sensitive interface-selective nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy. The femtosecond time-resolved data obtained clearly show that the photoionization reaction of phenol proceeds 10

    Abstract Lipid–DNA complexes are important nonviral vectors to be used in gene therapy, which is one of the promising strategies for the cure of many diseases. Although interfacial water is expected to play a significant role in lipid–DNA complexation, a molecular-level understanding about the role of interfacial water in the DNA–lipid complexation is still sparse. In this study, the structure and orientation of water at cationic and zwitterionic lipid monolayer/water interfaces in the presence of DNA are studied by the use of interface-selective heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. It is found that the adsorption of DNA at a cationic lipid interface drastically decreases the orientation of interfacial water reflecting the neutralization of the positively charged interface, whereas the adsorption of DNA at a zwitterionic lipid interface makes interfacial water become more “H-up”, indicating that the originally zwitterionic interface becomes negatively charged due to the DNA adsorption. Furthermore, interfacial water having relatively strong hydrogen bonds is observed at both the cationic and zwitterionic lipid interfaces in the presence of DNA.

    Abstract The receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike proteins plays a crucial role in the process of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) attachment to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The N501Y mutation and later mutations introduced extra positive charges on the spike RBD and resulted in higher transmissibility, likely due to stronger binding with the highly negatively charged ACE2. Consequently, many studies have been devoted to understanding the molecular mechanism of spike protein binding with the ACE2 receptor. Most of the theoretical studies, however, have been done on isolated proteins. ACE2 is a transmembrane protein; thus, it is important to understand the interaction of spike proteins with ACE2 in a lipid matrix. In this study, the adsorption of ACE2 and spike (N501Y) RBD at a lipid/water interface was studied using the heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (HD-VSFG) technique. The technique is a non-linear optical spectroscopy which measures vibrational spectra of molecules at an interface and provides information on their structure and orientation. It is found that ACE2 is effectively adsorbed at the positively charged 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DPTAP) lipid monolayer via electrostatic interactions. The adsorption of ACE2 at the DPTAP monolayer causes a reorganization of interfacial water (D

    Abstract The uniqueness of water originates from its three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network, but this hydrogen-bond network is suddenly truncated at the interface and non-hydrogen-bonded OH (free OH) appears. Although this free OH is the most characteristic feature of interfacial water, the molecular-level understanding of its dynamic property is still limited due to the technical difficulty. We study ultrafast vibrational relaxation dynamics of the free OH at the air/water interface using time-resolved heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (TR-HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. With the use of singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, the vibrational relaxation (T
