The reorientation and hydrogen-bond dynamics of water molecules within the hydration
shell of a B-DNA dodecamer, which are of interest for many of its biochemical functions, are …

Hydration of biological macromolecules is important for their stability and function.
Historically, attempts have been made to describe the degree of macromolecular hydration …

The atomic force microscope overestimates lateral dimensions and underestimates heights
of nanometer size objects such as proteins and nucleic acids. This has made researchers …

Accomplishing slow translocation speed with high sensitivity has been the most critical
mission for solid‐state nanopore (SSN) device to electrically detect nucleobases in ssDNA …

An understanding of the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides is fundamental to the
