Water structure at solid surfaces and its implications for biomolecule adsorption
Literature Information
Kailash C. Jena, Dennis K. Hore
The ordered arrangement of water molecules at solid surfaces is a consequence of hydrogen-bonding opportunities, electrostatic and dipolar interactions, and specific interactions with the surface. This perspective highlights recent understanding of this water structure at the solid–liquid interface. We discuss findings from three experimental techniques (attenuated total internal reflection infrared spectroscopy, second harmonic generation spectroscopy, and vibrationally-resonant sum-frequency generation spectroscopy) and two simulation approaches (molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations). In each case, we also provide examples of how these techniques reveal the importance of interfacial water organization in rationalizing the structure of adsorbed biomolecules.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
