Residue-Specific Structural and Dynamical Coupling of Protein and Hydration Water Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations by Shuai Wang, Jun Gao, Xiakun Chu

“…Our results reveal that protein residues with greater flexibility or solvent exposure are surrounded by more disordered hydration water, akin to bulk water, whereas rigid and buried non-polar residues are associated with structurally ordered hydration shells. Due to their strong hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, charged residues exhibit the most disordered hydration water, while non-polar residues are associated with the structurally most ordered hydration water. …”
