We have used femtosecond midinfrared spectroscopy to study the orientational mobility of water molecules in the hydration shells of hydrophobic groups. Our results show that hydrophobic groups are surrounded by a number of water molecules that display much slower orientational

Piliated Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) cepacia from sputa of cys tic fibrosis patients in Toronto, Canada, were shown earlier to bind to purified mucins and to a protein receptor on epithelial cells via a 22-kDa adhesin located on unique cable pili.

We study the influence of the amphipilic compound tetramethylurea (TMU) on the dynamical properties of water, using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the regime between 0.2 GHz and 2 THz. This technique is capable of resolving different water species, their relative

In this work, the gelation kinetics and fractal character of lysozyme gel matrices developed in tetramethylurea (TMU)-water media were investigated. Gelation times were determined from the temporal crossover point between the storage, G', and loss, G'', moduli, as a function

The effects of urea, tetramethyl urea (TMU), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on the structure and dynamics of aqueous solutions are studied using molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that urea has little effects on the water-water hydrogen-bond length and angle
