Abstract
H-bond networks at heterogeneous interfaces play crucial roles in bioseparation, biocatalysis, biochip array profiling, and functional nanosystem self-assembly, but their precise modulation and enhancement remain challenging. In this study, we have discovered that interfacial hydrophobic hydration significantly enhances H-bond networks at the interface between a glycan-modified adsorbent and a methanol-water-acetonitrile ternary solution. The enhanced H-bond networks greatly promote the adsorbent-solution heterogeneous glycan-glycan recognition and interaction. This novel hydrophobic hydration-enhanced hydrophilic interaction (HEHI) strategy improves the affinity and efficiency of intact glycopeptide enrichment. Compared with the commonly used hydrophilic-interaction enrichment strategy, 23.5 and 48.5% more intact N- and O-glycopeptides are identified, and the enrichment recoveries of half of the glycopeptides are increased >100%. Further, in-depth profiling of both N- and O-glycosylation occurring on SARS-CoV-2 S1 and hACE2 proteins has been achieved with more glycan types and novel O-glycosylation information involved. Interfacial hydrophobic hydration provides a powerful tool for the modulation of hydrophilic interactions in biological systems.

Abstract
A method for directly calculating the temperature derivative of two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectra from simulations at a single temperature is presented. The approach is demonstrated by application to the OD stretching spectrum of isotopically dilute aqueous (HOD in H2O) solutions of urea as a function of concentration. Urea is an important osmolyte because of its ability to denature proteins, which has motivated significant interest in its effect on the structure and dynamics of water. The present results show that the temperature dependence of both the linear IR and 2D-IR spectra, which report on the underlying energetic driving forces, is more sensitive to urea concentration than the spectra themselves. Additional physical insight is provided by calculation of the contributions to the temperature derivative from different interactions, e.g., water-water, water-urea, and urea-urea, present in the system. Finally, it is demonstrated how 2D-IR spectra at other temperatures can be obtained from only room temperature simulations.

Abstract
The amphiphilicity and denaturation efficiency of urea can be tuned via alkylation. Although the interaction of alkylureas with water and proteins has been studied in detail, the hydration of 1-methylurea has remained elusive, precluding the isolation of the effect of an individual methyl group. Here, we study water dynamics in the hydration shell of 1-methylurea (1-MU) using infrared absorption and ultrafast infrared spectroscopies. We find that 1-MU hardly affects the hydrogen-bond distribution of water as probed by the OD stretching vibration of HOD molecules. Polarization resolved infrared pump-probe experiments reveal that 1-MU slows down the rotational dynamics of up to 3 water molecules in its hydration shell. Comparison to earlier results for other alkylureas suggests that further alkylation does not necessarily slow down the rotational dynamics of additional water molecules. Two-dimensional infrared experiments show that 1-MU markedly slows down the hydrogen-bond fluctuation dynamics of water, yet similar to what has been found for urea and dimethylureas. Remarkably, (alkyl-) ureas that share a similar effect on water's hydrogen-bond fluctuation dynamics share a similar (modest) protein denaturation tendency. As such, not only the hydrophobicity but also hydration of hydrophilic fragments of alkylureas may be relevant to explain their function towards biomolecules.

Abstract
The effects of aqueous arginine solution on the conformational stability of the secondary structural segments of a globular protein, ubiquitin, and the structure and dynamics of the surrounding water and arginine were examined by performing atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Attempts have been made to identify the osmolytic efficacy of arginine solution, and its influence in guiding the hydration properties of the protein at an elevated temperature of 450 K. The similar properties of the protein in pure water at elevated temperatures were computed and compared. Replica exchange MD simulation was performed to explore the arginine solution's sensitivity in stabilizing the protein conformations for a wide range of temperatures (300-450 K). It was observed that although all the helices and strands of the protein undergo unfolding at elevated temperature in pure water, they exhibited native-like conformational dynamics in the presence of arginine at both ambient and elevated temperatures. We find that the higher free energy barrier between the folded native and unfolded states of the protein primarily arises from the structural transformation of α-helix, relative to the strands. Our study revealed that the water structure around the secondary segments depends on the nature of amino acid compositions of the helices and strands. The reorientation of water dipoles around the helices and strands was found hindered due to the presence of arginine in the solution; such hindrance reduces the possibility of exchange of hydrogen bonds that formed between the secondary segments of protein and water (PW), and as a result, PW hydrogen bonds take longer time to relax than in pure water. On the other hand, the origin of slow relaxation of protein-arginine (PA) hydrogen bonds was identified to be due to the presence of different types of protein-bound arginine molecules, where arginine interacts with the secondary structural segments of the protein through multiple/bifurcated hydrogen bonds. These protein-bound arginine formed different kinds of bridged PA hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues of the same secondary segments or among multiple bonds and helped protein to conserve its native folded form firmly.

Abstract
Alkylated ureas are frequently used amphiphiles to mediate biomolecule water interactions, yet their hydrophobic substitution pattern critically affects their function. These differences can be traced back to their hydration, which is poorly understood. Here, we investigate subtle effects of the hydrophobic pattern of ureas on hydration dynamics using a combination of linear and non-linear infrared spectroscopies on the OD stretching vibration of HDO. Isomeric 1,3-dimethylurea (1,3-DMU), 1,1-dimethylurea (1,1-DMU) and 1-ethylurea (1-EU) exhibit very similar and rather weak modulation of the water hydrogen-bond strength distribution. Yet, only 1,3-DMU and 1,1-DMU enhance the hydrogen-bond heterogeneity and slow-down its fluctuation dynamics. In turn, rotational dynamics of water molecules, which is dominated by hydrogen bond switches, is significantly impeded in the presence of 1,3-DMU and only weakly by 1,1-DMU and 1-EU. These marked differences can be explained by both excluded volume effects in hydration and self-aggregation, which may be the key to their biotechnological function.

Abstract
The solubilities of polyethers are surprisingly counter-intuitive. The best-known example is the difference between polyethylene glycol ([-CH2-CH2-O-]n) which is infinitely soluble, and polyoxymethylene ([-CH2-O-]n) which is completely insoluble in water, exactly the opposite of what one expects from the C/O ratios of these molecules. Similar anomalies exist for oligomeric and cyclic polyethers. To solve this apparent mystery, we use femtosecond vibrational and GHz dielectric spectroscopy with complementary ab initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the dynamics of water molecules solvating polyethers is fundamentally different depending on their C/O composition. The ab initio calculations and simulations show that this is not because of steric effects (as is commonly believed), but because the partial charge on the O atoms depends on the number of C atoms by which they are separated. Our results thus show that inductive effects can have a major impact on aqueous solubilities.

Abstract
Protein hydration water plays a fundamentally important role in protein folding, binding, assembly, and function. Little is known about the hydration water in intrinsically disordered proteins that challenge the conventional sequence-structure-function paradigm. Here, by combining experiments and simulations, we show the existence of dynamical heterogeneity of hydration water in an intrinsically disordered presynaptic protein, namely α-synuclein, implicated in Parkinson's disease. We took advantage of nonoccurrence of cysteine in the sequence and incorporated a number of cysteine residues at the N-terminal segment, the central amyloidogenic nonamyloid-β component (NAC) domain, and the C-terminal end of α-synuclein. We then labeled these cysteine variants using environment-sensitive thiol-active fluorophore and monitored the solvation dynamics using femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence. The site-specific femtosecond time-resolved experiments allowed us to construct the hydration map of α-synuclein. Our results show the presence of three dynamically distinct types of water: bulk, hydration, and confined water. The amyloidogenic NAC domain contains dynamically restrained water molecules that are strikingly different from the water molecules present in the other two domains. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations revealed longer residence times for water molecules near the NAC domain and supported our experimental observations. Additionally, our simulations allowed us to decipher the molecular origin of the dynamical heterogeneity of water in α-synuclein. These simulations captured the quasi-bound water molecules within the NAC domain originating from a complex interplay between the local chain compaction and the sequence composition. Our findings from this synergistic experimental simulation approach suggest longer trapping of interfacial water molecules near the amyloidogenic hotspot that triggers the pathological conversion into amyloids via chain sequestration, chain desolvation, and entropic liberation of ordered water molecules.

Abstract
We report on a molecular dynamics study on the relation between the structure and the orientational (and hydrogen bond) dynamics of hydration water around the ocean pout AFP III anti-freeze protein. We find evidence for an increasing tetrahedral structure from the area opposite to the ice binding site (IBS) towards the protein IBS, with the strongest signal of tetrahedral structure around the THR-18 residue of the IBS. The tetrahedral structural parameter mostly positively correlates with increased reorientation decay times. Interestingly, for several key (polar) residues that are not part of the IBS but are in its vicinity, we observe a decrease of the reorientation time with increasing tetrahedral structure. A similar anti-correlation is observed for the hydrogen-bonded water molecules. These effects are enhanced at a lower temperature. We interpret these results in terms of the structure-making and structure-breaking residues. Moreover, we investigate the tetrahedral structure and dynamics of waters at a partially dehydrated IBS, and for the protein adsorbed at the air-water interface. We find that the mutation changes the preferred protein orientation upon adsorption at an air-water interface. These results are in agreement with the water-air Vibration Sum Frequency Generation spectroscopic experiments showing a strongly reduced tetrahedral signal upon mutation at the IBS.

Abstract
Anionic boron cluster compounds (ABCCs) are intrinsically amphiphilic building blocks suitable for nanochemistry. ABCCs are involved in atypical weak interactions, notably dihydrogen bonding, due to their peculiar polyhedral structure, consisting of negatively charged B-H units. The most striking feature of ABCCs that differentiates them from typical surfactants is the lack of head-and-tail structure. Furthermore, their structure can be described as intrinsically amphiphilic or aquaneutral. Therefore, classical terms established to describe self-assembly of classical amphiphiles are insufficient and need to be reconsidered. The opinions and theories focused on the solution behavior of ABCCs are briefly discussed. Moreover, a comparison between ABCCs with other amphiphilic systems is made focusing on the explanation of enthalpy-driven micellization or relations between hydrophobic and chaotropic effects. Despite the unusual structure, ABCCs still show self- and coassembly properties comparable to classical amphiphiles such as ionic surfactants. They self-assemble into micelles in water according to the closed association model. The most typical features of ABCCs solution behavior is demonstrated on calorimetry, NMR spectroscopy, and tensiometry experiments. Altogether, the unique features of ABCCs makes them a valuable inclusion into the nanochemisty toolbox to develop novel nanostructures both alone and with other molecules.

Abstract
Absorption and emission spectral characteristics of the two structurally similar phenothiazine dyes, azure B and toluidine blue, in aqueous solutions of the two sets of molecular additives (ureas and monosaccharides) were studied as a function of the dye and additive concentrations. The absorption spectra of the dyes were also studied in pure tetramethylurea with an aprotic nature. The spectral data were analyzed using DECOM Program. The dimer structure of the interacting molecules in these dyes was discussed using the exciton model. The urea class of additives was found to act as water structure-breakers over the range of studied concentration. The carbohydrate additives were found to act as water structure-breakers at low concentrations. However, the water structure breaking process may be disfavored by the additive-additive interactions at higher concentrations. It can be concluded that at low additive concentrations, the main driving force for breaking the dye association is water-additive interaction, which disrupts the water hydrogen bonds induced by the additives. However, at the high additive concentrations, the different phenomena including additive-additive and additive-dye interactions can change the structure, strength, and aggregative properties of the dyes. Finally, the urea in water induces noticeably fluorescence quenching in emission spectra of both the dyes.

Abstract
We use ab initio molecular dynamics simulation to study the effect of hydrophobic groups on the dynamics of water molecules in aqueous solutions of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). We show that hydrophobic groups induce a moderate (<2-fold) slowdown of water reorientation and hydrogen-bond dynamics in dilute solutions, but that this slowdown rapidly increases with solute concentration. In addition, the slowdown factor is found to vary very little with temperature, thus suggesting an entropic origin. All of these results are in quantitative agreement with prior classical molecular dynamics simulations and with the previously suggested excluded-volume model. The hydrophilic TMAO headgroup is found to affect water dynamics more strongly than the hydrophobic moiety, and the magnitude of this slowdown is very sensitive to the strength of the water-solute hydrogen-bond.
