RIBOSOMES. "Highly structured water molecules with lengthy residence times, have been found to be essential for the structural dynamics and function of ribosomes...where water communicates structural rearrangements in an analogous manner to its action around many proteins." https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

SPECIFICITY. "The major driving force for the specificity of protein binding is the entropy increase due to the decrease of bound water molecules, with the DNA sequence determining the hydration pattern in the major and minor grooves" of the DNA molecule. https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

WATER AROUND DNA. "The hydration spine is capable of carrying messages as facilitated by proton movement down the water wire, between binding sites in a similar, if complementary, manner to high electron transfer through DNA residues, and so coordinate the repair process." https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

DNA REPAIR. "The normal "hydration fingerprint" of the DNA will clearly be disrupted by DNA damage and this will facilitate repair protein attachment." https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

HYDRATION FINGERPRINTS. "The processing of the genetic information within DNA is facilitated by highly discriminatory and strong protein binding. It has been shown that the interfacial water molecules can serve as "hydration fingerprints" of a given DNA sequence." https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

HYDRATION DIFFERENCES. "The hydration of protein–RNA interfaces differs from the hydration of protein–DNA and protein–protein interfaces in terms of the number of interface water molecules as well as the water-mediated H-bond density." https://lnkd.in/eNzG5px View in LinkedIn

NUCLEIC ACID FUNCTION. "The hydration of the nuclei acids controls their structure and mechanism of action. The strength of these aqueous interactions is far greater than those for proteins, due to their highly ionic character." https://lnkd.in/ekqUhp2 View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP. "The conformation of proteins and membranes is largely determined by their interaction with water. However, vice versa these biopolymers have a profound effect on the dynamics and structure of the nearby water layers." https://lnkd.in/eiPKZw5 View in LinkedIn

"PROTEIN FOLDING is driven by the interaction with water as it emerges from ribosomal synthesis into the bulk aqueous phase of the cytoplasm. This particularly involves the hydrophobic interactions by reducing their large surface area with water which otherwise would cause an unfavorable entropy decrease." https://lnkd.in/eTDnmAQ View in LinkedIn

BIOMOLECULAR WATER DIFFERS. "Numerous experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the properties of protein hydration water are different from those of bulk water." https://lnkd.in/eci_cba View in LinkedIn
