The structure and function of biomolecules are strongly influenced by their hydration shells.
Structural fluctuations and molecular excitations of hydrating water molecules cover a broad …

A major revival in the use of classical electrostatics as an approach to the study of charged
and polar molecules in aqueous solution has been made possible through the development …

The recognition of specific DNA sequences by proteins is thought to depend on two types of
mechanism: one that involves the formation of hydrogen bonds with specific bases, primarily …

Specific interactions between proteins and DNA are fundamental to many biological
processes. In this review, we provide a revised view of protein-DNA interactions that …
