      It is hitherto thought that liquid water is composed of tetrahedrally coordinated molecules with an asymmetric interaction of the central molecule with neighboring molecules. Kuhne et al., Nat. Commun., 2013, 4, 1450 ...
    • A robust comparison of dynamical scenarios in a glass-forming liquid 

      Vispa, Alessandro; Busch, Sebastian; Tamarit Mur, José Luis; Unruh, Tobias; Fernandez-Alonso, Felix; Pardo Soto, Luis Carlos (2016-02-07)
      Article

      We use Bayesian inference methods to provide fresh insights into the sub-nanosecond dynamics of glycerol, a prototypical glass-forming liquid. To this end, quasielastic neutron scattering data as a function of temperature ...
    • Amphipathic solvation of indole: implications for the role of tryptophan in membrane proteins 

      Johnston, Andrew J; Zhang, Yapei; Busch, Sebastian; Pardo Soto, Luis Carlos; Imberti, Silvia; McLain, Sylvia E. (2015-05-14)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The microscopic structure of the tryptophan side chain, indole, in an amphiphilic environment has been investigated using a combination of neutron diffraction measurements and simulations in solution. The results show that ...
    • Microscopic dynamics of glycerol: a QENS study

      Cocaine is an amphiphilic drug which has the ability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Here, a combination of neutron diffraction and computation has been used to investigate the atomic scale structure of cocaine in ...
    • On the microscopic origin of the cryoprotective effect in lysine solutions 

      Henao, Andrés; Ruiz Tabbia, Guadalupe Natalia; Steinke, Nicola; Cerveny Murcia, Silvina; Macovez, Roberto; Busch, Sebastian; McLain, Sylvia E.; Lorenz, Christian D.; Pardo Soto, Luis Carlos (2020-04-07)

      The amino acid lysine has been shown to prevent water crystallization at low temperatures in saturated aqueous solutions [S. Cerveny and J. Swenson, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014, 16, 22382–22390]. Here, we investigate two ...
    • On the structure of water and chloride ion interactions with a peptide backbone in solution

      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Molecular interactions for proline in a highly concentrated aqueous solution (up to 1:5 proline:water molecular ratio) have been investigated using a variety of experimental and computational techniques. Rather than the ...
    • The structure of liquid water beyond the first hydration shell 

      Henao Aristizábal, Andrés; Busch, Sebastian; Guàrdia Manuel, Elvira; Tamarit Mur, José Luis; Pardo Soto, Luis Carlos (2016-06-22)
      Article
      Accés obert
      To date there is a general consensus on the structure of the first coordination shells of liquid water, namely tetrahedral short range order of molecules. In contrast, little is known about the structure at longer distances ...
