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
KEY BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS. "Both proton-transfer processes and electron-transfer reactions may be facilitated by ordered water molecules connecting proton donor to acceptor sites or electron receptor sites respectively. In both cases, the transfer is faster where the linking water molecules possess stronger hydrogen bonding." https://lnkd.in/ev7vxpB View in LinkedIn
CELLULAR WATER. "The molecular processes in the restricted environments are largely dominated by interactions, vibrational energy transfer, orientation of water molecules, which differ drastically from those of bulk water properties." https://lnkd.in/eK4Reve View in LinkedIn
FRAGMENT IN NATURE continues with structured water. Beware the crazy fringe that has tainted otherwise provocative and interesting science about water by claiming all sorts of health benefits. This crowd of quacks and squeaks tend to follow aspects of science, adopt and modify it with all manner of outrageous and unsupported claims. https://lnkd.in/emCNhws View in LinkedIn
