Abstract
Aqueous solutions of four heavy-metal nitrate salts (AgNO3, TlNO3, Cd(NO3)2 and Pb(NO3)2) have been studied at 25 °C using broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) at frequencies 0.27 ≤ ν/GHz ≤ 115 over the approximate concentration range 0.2 ≲ c/mol L-1 ≲ 2.0 (0.08 ≲ c/mol L-1 ≲ 0.4 for the less-soluble TlNO3). The spectra for AgNO3, TlNO3, and Pb(NO3)2 were best described by assuming the presence of three relaxation processes. These consisted of one solute-related Debye mode centered at ∼2 GHz and two higher-frequency solvent-related modes: one an intense Cole-Cole mode centered at ∼18 GHz and the other a small-amplitude Debye mode at ∼500 GHz. These modes can be assigned, respectively, to the rotational diffusion of contact ion pairs (CIPs), the cooperative relaxation of solvent water molecules, and its preceding fast H-bond flip. For Cd(NO3)2 solutions an additional solute-related Debye mode of small-amplitude, centered at ∼0.5 GHz, was required to adequately fit the spectra. This mode was consistent with the presence of small amounts of solvent-shared ion pairs. Detailed analysis of the solvent modes indicated that all the cations are strongly solvated with, at infinite dilution, effective total hydration numbers (Zt0 values) of irrotationally bound water molecules of ∼5 for both Ag+ and Tl+, ∼10 for Pb2+, and ∼20 for Cd2+. These results clearly indicate the presence of a partial second hydration shell for Pb2+(aq) and an almost complete second shell for Cd2+(aq). However, the hydration numbers decline considerably with increasing solute concentration due to ion-ion interactions. Association constants for the formation of contact ion pairs indicated weak complexation that varies in the order: Tl+ < Ag+ < Pb2+ < Cd2+, consistent with the charge/radius ratios of the cations and their Gibbs energies of hydration. Where comparisons were possible the present constants mostly agreed well with the rather uncertain literature values.

Abstract
We propose a driving force hypothesis based on previous thermodynamics, kinetics and structural data as well as additional experiments and calculations presented here on water-related phenomena in the actomyosin systems. Although Szent-Györgyi pointed out the importance of water in muscle contraction in 1951, few studies have focused on the water science of muscle because of the difficulty of analyzing hydration properties of the muscle proteins, actin, and myosin. The thermodynamics and energetics of muscle contraction are linked to the water-mediated regulation of protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions along with structural changes in protein molecules. In this study, we assume the following two points: (1) the periodic electric field distribution along an actin filament (F-actin) is unidirectionally modified upon binding of myosin subfragment 1 (M or myosin S1) with ADP and inorganic phosphate Pi (M.ADP.Pi complex) and (2) the solvation free energy of myosin S1 depends on the external electric field strength and the solvation free energy of myosin S1 in close proximity to F-actin can become the potential force to drive myosin S1 along F-actin. The first assumption is supported by integration of experimental reports. The second assumption is supported by model calculations utilizing molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to determine solvation free energies of a small organic molecule and two small proteins. MD simulations utilize the energy representation method (ER) and the roughly proportional relationship between the solvation free energy and the solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) of the protein. The estimated driving force acting on myosin S1 is as high as several piconewtons (pN), which is consistent with the experimentally observed force.

Abstract
Understanding of the hydration state is an important issue in the chemomechanical energetics of versatile biological functions of polymerized actin (F-actin). In this study, hydration-state differences of F-actin by the bound divalent cations are revealed through precision microwave dielectric relaxation (DR) spectroscopy. G- and F-actin in Ca- and Mg-containing buffer solutions exhibit dual hydration components comprising restrained water with DR frequency f2 (<fw: DR frequency of bulk solvent, 17 GHz at 20 °C) and hypermobile water (HMW) with DR frequency f1 (>fw). The hydration state of F-actin is strongly dependent on the ionic composition. In every buffer tested, the HMW signal Dhyme (≡ (f1 - fw)δ1/(fwδw)) of F-actin is stronger than that of G-actin, where δw is DR-amplitude of bulk solvent and δ1 is that of HMW in a fixed-volume ellipsoid containing an F-actin and surrounding water in solution. Dhyme value of F-actin in Ca2.0-buffer (containing 2 mM Ca(2+)) is markedly higher than in Mg2.0-buffer (containing 2 mM Mg(2+)). Moreover, in the presence of 2 mM Mg(2+), the hydration state of F-actin is changed by adding a small fraction of Ca(2+) (∼0.1 mM) and becomes closer to that of the Ca-bound form in Ca2.0-buffer. This is consistent with the results of the partial specific volume and the Cotton effect around 290 nm in the CD spectra, indicating a change in the tertiary structure and less apparent change in the secondary structure of actin. The number of restrained water molecules per actin (N2) is estimated to be 1600-2100 for Ca2.0- and F-buffer and ∼2500 for Mg2.0-buffer at 10-15 °C. These numbers are comparable to those estimated from the available F-actin atomic structures as in the first water layer. The number of HMW molecules is roughly explained by the volume between the equipotential surface of -kT/2e and the first water layer of the actin surface by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation using UCSF Chimera.

Abstract
The dielectric relaxation spectra of dilute electrolyte solutions in solvents of small dielectric constants are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical calculation in our previous work [T. Yamaguchi, T. Matsuoka, and S. Koda, J. Chem. Phys. 135, 164511 (2011)] is reanalyzed, and it is shown that the dielectric relaxation spectra are composed of three components, namely, the relaxation of ionic atmosphere, the reorientational relaxation of ion pairs, and the collision between ions. The relaxation frequency of the slowest one increases with increasing the concentration, and the slower two relaxations, those of ionic atmosphere and ion pairs, merge into one at the concentration where the Debye length is comparable to the size of ions. Experimentally, the dielectric relaxation spectra of some electrolytes in two solvents, tetrahydrofuran and tetraglyme, are determined at frequencies from 300 kHz to 200 MHz, and the presence of the slower two relaxations was confirmed. The concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency is also in harmony with the theoretical calculation. The relationship between the dielectric relaxation spectra and the concentration dependence of the ionic conductivity is discussed.

Abstract
Properties of hypermobile water (HMW) were studied by Raman OH-stretching spectroscopy. Hydration water properties measured by Raman OH-stretching spectra of NaX/KX (X: Cl, Br, I) solutions (0.05-0.2 M) were comparatively analyzed with the data by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS), NMR, and statistical mechanical studies. The Raman OH-stretching spectra were well-fitted with linear combinations of the spectra of pure water both at the same and the higher temperatures. The fitting analysis determined the "structure temperature" Tstr and mole fraction of the high Tstr water region, giving the hydration number Nhyd, for each electrolyte solution. The determined Tstr was much higher than the solution temperature of 293 K for each tested salt and was higher for larger halide ions, consistent with commonly known "structure-breaking" order Cl < Br < I. No significant differences in Nhyd were observed between NaX and KX and among even halide ion species within the experimental errors. Measured Nhyd values of 25-27 were much greater than the reported numbers by NMR chemical shift and (17)O NMR relaxation studies and comparable to the numbers of hypermobile water reported in the previous DRS studies. The results indicated that the hydration region around NaX or KX measured by the present Raman study was nearly overlapped with the region of HMW by DRS. It was also suggested that differences in the ion size effects on Tstr and the DR frequency resulted from the sensitivity difference to long-range many-body interactions among water molecules. High structure-temperature regions were also detected by the analysis of OH-stretching and OD-stretching bands for 0.2 M NaI in H2O/D2O mixed solvent of 50 mol %, and we found that both OH-stretching and OD-stretching bands have almost equivalent Tstr ≈ 330 K and mole fractions with each other.

Abstract
Abstract
Experimental observation by high-resolution microwave dielectric spectroscopy of hydration properties of alkali halide ions, adenosine phosphate ions, and F-actin revealed the existence of hypermobile water (HMW) molecules around those solutes. To understand the molecular process of HMW, two theoretical approaches are reviewed here. One is based on a statistical mechanical approach to analyze the rotational freedom of water molecules around a charged particle. Another approach reports direct calculation of dielectric relaxation process of water molecules around an ion. Experimentally observed HMW molecules are theoretically explained with the significance of multi-correlations among an ion and water molecules.
