Effect of urea and glycine betaine on the hydration sphere of model molecules for the surface features of proteins
PublikacjaWater properties may significantly affect protein stability. Osmolytes are compounds that intrinsically affect water in many different ways and thus can influence proteins with this type of indirect mechanism. In this study, we characterize water properties in ternary solutions: model–water–osmolyte, with two model molecules: N-methylacetamide (NMA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and two osmolytes: glycine betaine (TMG)and urea....

Hydration of urea and its derivatives - Volumetric and compressibility studies
PublikacjaThe densities and sound velocities at T = (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K have been measured for aqueous solutions of urea, N,N-dimethylurea, N,N-diethylurea, N-propylurea, N-butylurea. From these data the apparent molar volumes, V the apparent molar isentropic compressions, KS,, and the Passynski solvation numbers of solutes have been determined. The concentration dependencies of the calculated quantities, their...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of conformational states and noncovalent interactions in crystalline sulfonamides with a methoxyphenyl moiety
PublikacjaFour sulfonamide derivatives with a methoxyphenyl moiety, namely N-{4-[(2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl] phenyl}acetamide (1a), N-{4-[(3-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}acetamide (1b), 4-amino-N-(2- methoxyphenyl)benzenesulfonamide (2a) and 4-amino-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzenesulfonamide (2b), have been synthesized and characterized physiochemically by CHNS, MS, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, PXRD and TG methods. Crystal structures were determined...

Interactions between hydration spheres of two different solutes in solution: The least squares fitting with constraints as a tool to determine water properties in ternary systems
PublikacjaBiological systems are complex and the problem of their description lies in mutual interactions between their components. This paper is focused on model experiment-based studies which can reduce these difficulties. The ternary aqueous N-methylacetamide (NMA)–Na2HPO4 system has been studied by means of the FTIR spectroscopy. A novel difference spectra method aimed to extract the spectral contribution of water affected simultaneously...

How water mediates the long-range interactions between remote protein molecules
PublikacjaThe high crowding of macromolecules in the cytoplasm affects the processes that occur inside a living cell. It can, for example, promote the forming of various loosely connected structures of proteins. It also means that bulk water is, essentially, not present there. The relatively thin layer of solvent that separates macromolecules may be able to participate in the long-range interactions between them and make them respond to...

Studies on the solid-liquid equilibria and intermolecular interactions Urea binary mixtures with Sulfanilamide and Sulfacetamide
PublikacjaThe binary phase diagrams of Sulfanilamide-Urea (SN-U) and Sulfacetamide-Urea (SC-U) were measured using differential scanning calorimetry technique (DSC). Both examined mixtures were found to form simple binary eutectics. The limited miscibility in the solid state observed by DSC, proving inability of co-crystallization in new multi-molecular form, was also confirmed using PXRD and FTIR-ATR measurements of solid dispersions...

Structural changes of water caused by non-electrolytes: Volumetric and compressibility approach for urea-like analogues
PublikacjaHydration of thiourea (TU), hydroxyurea (HU, hydroxycarbamide), acetone (AC, 2-propanone) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been investigated with the help of the volumetric and compression measurement. The apparent molar volumes and the apparent molar isentropic (adiabatic) compression have been calculated from the density and speed of sound data at temperatures ranging from 288.15 to 308.15 K at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa)....

The hydrogen bond network structure within the hydration shell around simple osmolytes: Urea, tetramethylurea, and trimethylamine-N-oxide, investigated using both a fixed charge and a polarizable water model
PublikacjaDespite numerous experimental and computer simulation studies, a controversy still exists regarding the effect of osmolytes on the structure of surrounding water. There is a question, to what extent some of the contradictory results may arise from differences in potential models used to simulate the system or parameters employed to describe physical properties of the mixture and interpretation of the results. Bearing this in mind,...

Unusual structural properties of water within the hydration shell of hyperactive antifreeze protein
PublikacjaMany hypotheses can be encountered explaining the mechanism of action of antifreeze proteins. One widespread theory postulates that the similarity of structural properties of solvation water of antifreeze proteins to ice is crucial to the antifreeze activity of these agents. In order to investigate this problem, the structural properties of solvation water of the hyperactive antifreeze protein from Choristoneura fumiferana were...

Water-mediated long-range interactions between the internal vibrations of remote proteins
PublikacjaIt is generally acknowledged that the mobility of protein atoms and the mobility of water molecules in the solvation layer are connected. In this article, we answer the question whether a similar interdependence exists between the motions of atoms of proteins separated by the hydration layers of variable thickness. The system consisted of a kinesin catalytic domain and a tubulin dimer. It was studied using molecular dynamics simulations....

Vibrational spectroscopy of semiheavy water (HDO) as a probe of solute hydration
PublikacjaSpektroskopia oscylacyjna jest idealną metodą w badaniach zjawisk hydratacyjnych. Przy zastosowaniu techniki rozcieńczenia izotopowego, gdy mała ilość D2O zostaje wprowadzona do H2O lub vice versa i powstaje woda półciężka (HDO), ominąć można wiele problemów technicznych i interpretacyjnych związanych z pomiarem widm w podczerwieni wody ciekłej. Zwłaszcza izotopowe rozprzężenie drgań rozciągających ułatwia interpretację widm. Systematycznie...
