Recent calorimetric measurements of the solvation enthalpies of some dipeptide analogs confirm our earlier prediction that the principle of group additivity is not valid for the interaction of the peptide group with water. We examine the consequences for understanding the

The solvation dynamics of methyl acetate in heavy water are analyzed by means of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. The C horizontal lineO stretching infrared band of methyl acetate in water splits into a doublet

Several serine hydrolases catalyze a promiscuous reaction: perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids to form peroxycarboxylic acids. The working hypothesis is that perhydrolases are more selective than esterases for hydrogen peroxide over water. In this study, we tested this hypothesis, and focused
3-Methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol [CH(3)OC(CH(3))(2)CH(2)CH(2)OH] is used as a solvent for paints, inks, and fragrances and as a raw material for the production of industrial detergents. A rate constant of (1.64 ± 0.18) × 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for the reaction of 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol

Probing the mechanism of electron capture dissociation on variously modified model peptide polycations has resulted in discovering many ways to prevent or reduce N-Cα bond fragmentation. Here we report on a rare finding of how to increase the backbone bond
