Abstract
Finding the mean time it takes for a particle to escape from a metastable state due to thermal fluctuations is a fundamental problem in physics, chemistry, and biology. Here, we consider the escape rate of interacting diffusive particles, from a deep potential trap within the framework of the macroscopic fluctuation theory-a nonequilibrium hydrodynamic theory. For systems without excluded volume, our investigation reveals adherence to the well-established Arrhenius law. However, in the presence of excluded volume, a universality class emerges, fundamentally altering the escape rate. Remarkably, the modified escape rate within this universality class is independent of the interactions at play. The universality class, demonstrating the importance of excluded volume effects, may bring insights to the interpretation of escape processes in the realm of chemical physics.

Abstract
The dynamical properties of water molecules confined in the unidirectional hydrophilic nanopores of AlPO4-54 are investigated with quasi-elastic neutron scattering as a function of temperature down to 118 K. AlPO4-54 has among the largest pores known for aluminophosphates and zeolites (about 1.3 nm), though they are small enough to prevent water crystallization due to the high degree of confinement. Water molecular diffusion into the pore is here measured down to 258 K. Diffusion is slower than in bulk water and has an activation energy of Ea = (20.8 ± 2.8) kJ/mol, in agreement with previous studies on similar confining media. Surprisingly, local hydrogen dynamics associated with water reorientation is measured down to temperatures (118 K), i.e., well below the expected glass transition temperature of bulk water. The reorientational time scale shows the well-known non-Arrhenius behavior down to the freezing of water mass diffusion, while it shows a feeble temperature dependence below. This fast local dynamics, of the order of fractions of nanoseconds, is believed to take place in the dense, highly disordered amorphous water occupying the pore center, indicating its possible plastic nature.

The collective burst mechanism of angular jumps in liquid water. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1345.

Abstract
Understanding the microscopic origins of collective reorientational motions in aqueous systems requires techniques that allow us to reach beyond our chemical imagination. Herein, we elucidate a mechanism using a protocol that automatically detects abrupt motions in reorientational dynamics, showing that large angular jumps in liquid water involve highly cooperative orchestrated motions. Our automatized detection of angular fluctuations, unravels a heterogeneity in the type of angular jumps occurring concertedly in the system. We show that large orientational motions require a highly collective dynamical process involving correlated motion of many water molecules in the hydrogen-bond network that form spatially connected clusters going beyond the local angular jump mechanism. This phenomenon is rooted in the collective fluctuations of the network topology which results in the creation of defects in waves on the THz timescale. The mechanism we propose involves a cascade of hydrogen-bond fluctuations underlying angular jumps and provides new insights into the current localized picture of angular jumps, and its wide use in the interpretations of numerous spectroscopies as well in reorientational dynamics of water near biological and inorganic systems. The role of finite size effects, as well as of the chosen water model, on the collective reorientation is also elucidated.

Self-Diffusion in Confined Water: A Comparison between the Dynamics of Supercooled Water in Hydrophobic Carbon Nanotubes and Hydrophilic Porous Silica. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214432.

Abstract
Confined liquids are model systems for the study of the metastable supercooled state, especially for bulk water, in which the onset of crystallization below 230 K hinders the application of experimental techniques. Nevertheless, in addition to suppressing crystallization, confinement at the nanoscale drastically alters the properties of water. Evidently, the behavior of confined water depends critically on the nature of the confining environment and the interactions of confined water molecules with the confining matrix. A comparative study of the dynamics of water under hydrophobic and hydrophilic confinement could therefore help to clarify the underlying interactions. As we demonstrate in this work using a few representative results from the relevant literature, the accurate assessment of the translational mobility of water molecules, especially in the supercooled state, can unmistakably distinguish between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature of the confining environments. Among the numerous experimental methods currently available, we selected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in a field gradient, which directly measures the macroscopic translational self-diffusion coefficient, and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS), which can determine the microscopic translational dynamics of the water molecules. Dielectric relaxation, which probes the re-orientational degrees of freedom, are also discussed.

Abstract
The self-diffusion of water molecules plays a key part in a broad range of essential processes in biochemistry, medical imaging, material science, and engineering. However, its molecular mechanism and the role played by the water hydrogen-bond network rearrangements are not known. Here we combine molecular dynamics simulations and analytic modeling to determine the molecular mechanism of water diffusion. We establish a quantitative connection between the water diffusion coefficient and hydrogen-bond jump exchanges, and identify the features that determine the underlying energetic barrier. We thus provide a unified framework to understand the coupling between translational, rotational, and hydrogen-bond dynamics in liquid water. It explains why these different dynamics do not necessarily exhibit identical temperature dependences although they all result from the same hydrogen-bond exchange events. The consequences for the understanding of water diffusion in supercooled conditions and for water transport in complex aqueous systems, including ionic, biological, and confined solutions, are discussed.

Abstract
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) inhibit ice re-crystallization by a mechanism remaining largely elusive. Dynamics of AFPs’ hydration water and its involvement in the antifreeze activity have not been identified conclusively. We herein, by simulation and theory, examined the water reorientation dynamics in the first hydration layer of an AFP from the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, compared with a protein cytochrome P450 (CYP). The increase of potential acceptor water molecules around donor water molecules leads to the acceleration of hydrogen bond exchange between water molecules. Therefore, the jump reorientation of water molecules around the AFP active region is accelerated. Due to the mutual coupling and excitation of hydrogen bond exchange, with the acceleration of hydrogen bond exchange, the rearrangement of the hydrogen bond network and the frame reorientation of water are accelerated. Therefore, the water reorientation dynamics of AFP is faster than that of CYP. The results of this study provide a new physical image of antifreeze protein and a new understanding of the antifreeze mechanism of antifreeze proteins.

Abstract
The microscopic description of the local structure of water remains an open challenge. Here, we adopt an agnostic approach to understanding water's hydrogen bond network using data harvested from molecular dynamics simulations of an empirical water model. A battery of state-of-the-art unsupervised data-science techniques are used to characterize the free-energy landscape of water starting from encoding the water environment using local atomic descriptors, through dimensionality reduction and finally the use of advanced clustering techniques. Analysis of the free energy under ambient conditions was found to be consistent with a rough single basin and independent of the choice of the water model. We find that the fluctuations of the water network occur in a high-dimensional space, which we characterize using a combination of both atomic descriptors and chemical-intuition-based coordinates. We demonstrate that a combination of both types of variables is needed in order to adequately capture the complexity of the fluctuations in the hydrogen bond network at different length scales both at room temperature and also close to the critical point of water. Our results provide a general framework for examining fluctuations in water under different conditions.

Abstract
Depletion interaction plays an important role in determining the structural and dynamical properties of binary colloidal mixtures. We have investigated the effect of the attractive depletion interaction between an external potential barrier and larger species in the binary mixture on the phase behavior of a binary colloidal mixture using canonical-isokinetic ensemble molecular dynamics simulations. The demixing of the binary mixture due to this depletion interaction increases as the volume fraction increases, and a pure phase of larger particles forms in the region of the potential barrier. The local density of this pure phase is high enough that a face centered cubic crystalline domain is formed at this region. This crystalline phase diffuses perpendicular to the external potential barrier, indicating that moving crystals can be obtained in an equilibrium system. The temperature dependence of diffusivity of larger particles is non-Arrhenius and changes from sub-Arrhenius to super-Arrhenius as the volume fraction increases. This crossover from sub-Arrhenius to super-Arrhenius diffusion coincides with the crystalline formation near the potential barrier.

Abstract
Recent advances in the calculation of activation energies are shedding new light on the dynamical time scales of liquid water. In this Perspective, we examine how activation energies elucidate the central, but not singular, role of the exchange of hydrogen-bond (H-bond) partners that rearrange the H-bond network of water. The contributions of other motions to dynamical time scales and their associated activation energies are discussed along with one case, vibrational spectral diffusion, where H-bond exchanges are not mechanistically significant. Nascent progress on outstanding challenges, including descriptions of non-Arrhenius effects and activation volumes, are detailed along with some directions for future investigations.

Abstract
In this work, we examine hydrogen-bond (H-bond) switching by employing the Markov State Model (MSM). During the H-bond switching, a water hydrogen initially H-bonded with water oxygen becomes H-bonded to a different water oxygen. MSM analysis was applied to trajectories generated from molecular dynamics simulations of the TIP4P/2005 model from a room-temperature state to a supercooled state. We defined four basis states to characterize the configuration between two water molecules: H-bonded ("H"), unbound ("U"), weakly H-bonded ("w"), and alternative H-bonded ("a") states. A 16 × 16 MSM matrix was constructed, describing the transition probability between states composed of three water molecules. The mean first-passage time of the H-bond switching was estimated by calculating the total flux from the HU to UH states. It is demonstrated that the temperature dependence of the mean first-passage time is in accordance with that of the H-bond lifetime determined from the H-bond correlation function. Furthermore, the flux for the H-bond switching is decomposed into individual pathways that are characterized by different forms of H-bond configurations of trimers. The dominant pathway of the H-bond switching is found to be a direct one without passing through such intermediate states as "w" and "a," the existence of which becomes evident in supercooled water. The pathway through "w" indicates a large reorientation of the donor molecule. In contrast, the pathway through "a" utilizes the tetrahedral H-bond network, which is revealed by the further decomposition based on the H-bond number of the acceptor molecule.

Abstract
It is well known that water inside hydrophobic nano-channels diffuses faster than bulk water. Recent theoretical studies have shown that this enhancement depends on the size of the hydrophobic nanochannels. However, experimental evidence of this dependence is lacking. Here, by combining two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion-relaxation ( D - T 2 e f f ) spectroscopy in the stray field of a superconducting magnet and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyze the size dependence of water dynamics inside Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) of different diameters ( 1.1 - 6.0 nm), in the temperature range of 265 - 305 K. Depending on the CNT diameter, the nanotube water is shown to resolve in two or more tubular components acquiring different self-diffusion coefficients. Most notably, a favorable CNT diameter range ( 3.0 - 4.5 nm) is experimentally verified for the first time, in which water molecule dynamics at the center of the CNTs exhibits distinctly non-Arrhenius behavior, characterized by ultrafast diffusion and extraordinary fragility, a result of significant importance in the efforts to understand water behavior in hydrophobic nanochannels.

Abstract
We use molecular dynamics simulations using TIP4P/2005 to investigate the self- and distinct-van Hove functions for different local environments of water, classified using the local structure index as an order parameter. The orientational dynamics were studied through the calculation of the time-correlation functions of different-order Legendre polynomials in the OH-bond unit vector. We found that the translational and orientational dynamics are slower for molecules in a low-density local environment and correspondingly the mobility is enhanced upon increasing the local density, consistent with some previous works, but opposite to a recent study on the van Hove function. From the analysis of the distinct dynamics, we find that the second and fourth peaks of the radial distribution function, previously identified as low density-like arrangements, show long persistence in time. The analysis of the time-dependent interparticle distance between the central molecule and the first coordination shell shows that particle identity persists longer than distinct van Hove correlations. The motion of two first-nearest-neighbor molecules thus remains coupled even when this correlation function has been completely decayed. With respect to the orientational dynamics, we show that correlation functions of molecules in a low-density environment decay exponentially, while molecules in a local high-density environment exhibit bi-exponential decay, indicating that dynamic heterogeneity of water is associated with the heterogeneity among high-density and between high-density and low-density species. This bi-exponential behavior is associated with the existence of interstitial waters and the collapse of the second coordination sphere in high-density arrangements, but not with H-bond strength.

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
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.

Abstract
Rayleigh-Brillouin light scattering is studied in liquid water over the range from 249 to 365 K. Experiments are carried out with a high spectral resolution (0.1 GHz), eliminating any contribution of the structural relaxation to the elastic line. The Landau-Placzek ratio is found as the ratio of the Rayleigh and Brillouin intensities. In the whole temperature range, the Landau-Placzek ratio is found to be in good agreement with a prediction of the theory with a pair of independent thermodynamic variables, pressure and entropy. This description is usually used for single-component homogeneous liquids. An excess of the Landau-Placzek ratio above the prediction is expected for inhomogeneous liquids and is observed, for example, in glass-forming liquids below a certain temperature. In contrast to glass-forming liquids, no excess of elastically scattered light increasing at low temperatures is observed for the Landau-Placzek ratio of water. This suggests that the Landau-Placzek ratio of liquid water can be described by a homogeneous structure, and the idea of the water structure consisting of two structural motifs may not be necessary to explain the experimental ratio.

Abstract
The composition- and temperature-dependent liquid structures in eight Alrich-Cu binary alloys (from hypoeutectic Al93Cu7 to hypereutectic Al70Cu30) have been experimentally and computationally studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The remarkable agreements of structure factors for all liquid Alrich-Cu alloys obtained from high-temperature high-energy XRD measurements and AIMD simulations have been achieved, which consolidates the analyses of structural evolutions in Alrich-Cu liquids during the cooling processing by AIMD simulations. The heat capacity of liquid Alrich-Cu alloys continuously increases and presents no abnormal peak when reducing the temperature, which differs from the reported prediction for 55-atom Alrich-Cu nanoliquids. The diffusivities of Al and Cu undergo an increasing deviation from Arrhenius behavior by tuning Cu concentration from 7 to 30 atomic percentages, correlated to the local ordering in these liquids by means of coordination number, bond-angle distribution, Honeycutt-Andersen index, bond-orientational order and Voronoi tessellation analyses. Upon cooling, the microstructure of the liquid Alrich-Cu alloys inclines to form Al2Cu crystal-like local atomic ordering, especially in the hypereutectic liquids. The favorable short-range ordering between Cu and Al atoms could cause the non-Arrhenius diffusion behavior.

Abstract
We study the structural and dynamic transformations of SPC/E water with temperature, through molecular dynamics (MD), and discuss the non-Arrhenius behavior of the transport properties and orientational dynamics, and the magnitude of the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) and the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relations, in the light of these transformations. Our results show that deviations from Arrhenius behavior of the self-diffusion at low temperatures cannot be exclusively explained by the reduction of water defects (interstitial waters) and the increase of the local tetrahedrality, thus, suggesting the importance of the slowdown of collective rearrangements. Interestingly we find that at high temperatures (T ⩾ 340 K) water defects lead to a slight increase of the tetrahedrality and a decrease of the self-diffusion, opposite to water at low temperatures. The relative magnitude of the breakdown of the SE and the SED relations is found to be in accord with recent experiments (Dehaoui et al 2015 Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 112 12020) resolving the discrepancy with previous MD results. Further, we show that SPC/E hydrogen-bond (HB) lifetimes deviate from Arrhenious behaviour at low temperatures in contrast with some previous MD studies. This deviation is nevertheless much smaller than that observed for the orientational dynamics and the transport properties of water, consistent with the relaxation times measured by several experimental methods. The HB acceptor exchange dynamics defined here by the acceptor switch and reform (librational dynamics) frequencies exhibit similar Arrhenius deviations, thus explaining to some extent the non-Arrhenius behavior of the transport properties and of the orientational dynamics of water. Our results also show that the fraction of HB switches through a bifurcated pathway follow a power law with the temperature decrease. Thus, at low temperatures HB acceptor switches are less frequent but occur on a faster time scale consistent with the temperature dependence of the ratio of the rotational relaxation times for the different Legendre polynomial ranks.

Abstract
A model is proposed for liquid water that is a continuum between the ordered state with predominantly tetrahedral coordination, linear hydrogen bonds and activated dynamics and a disordered state with a continuous distribution of multiple coordinations, multiple types of hydrogen bond, and diffusive dynamics, similar to that of normal liquids. Central to water's heterogeneous structure is the ability of hydrogen to donate to either one acceptor in a conventional linear hydrogen bond or to multiple acceptors as a furcated hydrogen. Linear hydrogen bonds are marked by slow, activated kinetics for hydrogen-bond switching to more crowded acceptors and sharp first peaks in the hydrogen-oxygen radial distribution function. Furcated hydrogens, equivalent to free, broken, dangling or distorted hydrogens, have barrierless, rapid kinetics and poorly defined first peaks in their hydrogen-oxygen radial distribution function. They involve the weakest donor in a local excess of donors, such that barrierless whole-molecule vibration rapidly swaps them between the linear and furcated forms. Despite the low number of furcated hydrogens and their transient existence, they are readily created in a single hydrogen-bond switch and free up the dynamics of numerous surrounding molecules, bringing about the disordered state. Hydrogens in the ordered state switch with activated dynamics to make the non-tetrahedral coordinations of the disordered state, which can also combine to make the ordered state. Consequently, the ordered and disordered states are both connected by diffusive dynamics and differentiated by activated dynamics, bringing about water's continuous heterogeneity.

Abstract
In order to study the interplay between dynamical heterogeneities and structural properties of bulk liquid water in the temperature range 130-350 K, thus including the supercooled regime, we use the explicit trend of the distribution functions of some molecular properties, namely, the rotational relaxation constants, the atomic mean-square displacements, the relaxation of the cross correlation functions between the linear and squared displacements of H and O atoms of each molecule, the tetrahedral order parameter q and, finally, the number of nearest neighbors (NNs) and of hydrogen bonds (HBs) per molecule. Two different potentials are considered: TIP4P-Ew and a model developed in this laboratory for the study of nanoconfined water. The results are similar for the dynamical properties, but are markedly different for the structural characteristics. In particular, for temperatures higher than that of the dynamic crossover between "fragile" (at higher temperatures) and "strong" (at lower temperatures) liquid behaviors detected around 207 K, the rotational relaxation of supercooled water appears to be remarkably homogeneous. However, the structural parameters (number of NNs and of HBs, as well as q) do not show homogeneous distributions, and these distributions are different for the two water models. Another dynamic crossover between "fragile" (at lower temperatures) and "strong" (at higher temperatures) liquid behaviors, corresponding to the one found experimentally at T(∗) ∼ 315 ± 5 K, was spotted at T(∗) ∼ 283 K and T(∗) ∼ 276 K for the TIP4P-Ew and the model developed in this laboratory, respectively. It was detected from the trend of Arrhenius plots of dynamic quantities and from the onset of a further heterogeneity in the rotational relaxation. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that this dynamical crossover is detected in computer simulations of bulk water. On the basis of the simulation results, the possible mechanisms of the two crossovers at molecular level are discussed.

Abstract
The hydration layer surrounding a protein plays an essential role in its biochemical function and consists of a heterogeneous ensemble of water molecules with different local environments and different dynamics. What determines the degree of dynamical heterogeneity within the hydration shell and how this changes with temperature remains unclear. Here, we combine molecular dynamics simulations and analytic modeling to study the hydration shell structure and dynamics of a typical globular protein, ubiquitin, and of the spruce budworm hyperactive antifreeze protein over the 230-300 K temperature range. Our results show that the average perturbation induced by both proteins on the reorientation dynamics of water remains moderate and changes weakly with temperature. The dynamical heterogeneity arises mostly from the distribution of protein surface topographies and is little affected by temperature. The ice-binding face of the antifreeze protein induces a short-ranged enhancement of water structure and a greater slowdown of water reorientation dynamics than the non-ice-binding faces whose effect is similar to that of ubiquitin. However, the hydration shell of the ice-binding face remains less tetrahedral than the bulk and is not "ice-like". We finally show that the hydrogen bonds between water and the ice-binding threonine residues are particularly strong due to a steric confinement effect, thereby contributing to the strong binding of the antifreeze protein on ice crystals.

to characterize the local structure of liquid water and its tetrahedral
arrangement, but their respective merits have remained elusive. Here,
we consider a series of popular order parameters and analyze molecular
dynamics simulations of water, in the bulk and in the hydration shell
of a hydrophobic solute, at 298 and 260 K. We show that these parameters
are weakly correlated and probe different distortions, for example
the angular versus radial disorders. We first combine these complementary
descriptions to analyze the structural rearrangements leading to the
density maximum in liquid water. Our results reveal no sign of a heterogeneous
mixture and show that the density maximum arises from the depletion
in interstitial water molecules upon cooling. In the hydration shell
of the hydrophobic moiety of propanol, the order parameters suggest
that the water local structure is similar to that in the bulk, with
only a very weak depletion in ordered configurations, thus confirming
the absence of any iceberg-type structure. Finally, we show that the
main structural fluctuations that affect water reorientation dynamics
in the bulk are angular distortions, which we explain by the jump
hydrogen-bond exchange mechanism.

Abstract
We investigate by molecular-dynamics simulations, the fast mobility-the rattling amplitude of the particles temporarily trapped by the cage of the neighbors-in mildly supercooled states of dense molecular (linear trimers) and atomic (binary mixtures) liquids. The mixture particles interact by the Lennard-Jones potential. The non-bonded particles of the molecular system are coupled by the more general Mie potential with variable repulsive and attractive exponents in a range which is a characteristic of small n-alkanes and n-alcohols. Possible links between the fast mobility and the geometry of the cage (size and shape) are searched. The correlations on a per-particle basis are rather weak. Instead, if one groups either the particles in fast-mobility subsets or the cages in geometric subsets, the increase of the fast mobility with both the size and the asphericity of the cage is revealed. The observed correlations are weak and differ in states with equal relaxation time. Local forces between a tagged particle and the first-neighbour shell do not correlate with the fast mobility in the molecular liquid. It is concluded that the cage geometry alone is unable to provide a microscopic interpretation of the known, universal link between the fast mobility and the slow structural relaxation. We suggest that the particle fast dynamics is affected by regions beyond the first neighbours, thus supporting the presence of collective, extended fast modes.

Abstract
We introduce the concept of maximum probability domains (MPDs), developed in the context of the analysis of electronic densities, in the study of the microscopic spatial structures of liquids. The idea of locating a particle in a three dimensional region, by determining the domain where the probability of finding that, and only that, particle is maximum, gives an interesting characterization of the local structure of the liquid. The optimization procedure, required for the search of the domain of maximum probability, is carried out by the implementation of the level set method. Results for a couple of case studies are presented, to illustrate the structure of liquid water at ambient conditions and upon increasing pressure from the point of view of MPDs and to compare the information encoded in the solvation shells of sodium in water with, once again, that extracted from the MPDs.

Abstract
Protein hydration shell dynamics play an important role in biochemical processes including protein folding, enzyme function, and molecular recognition. We present here a comparison of the reorientation dynamics of individual water molecules within the hydration shell of a series of globular proteins: acetylcholinesterase, subtilisin Carlsberg, lysozyme, and ubiquitin. Molecular dynamics simulations and analytical models are used to access site-resolved information on hydration shell dynamics and to elucidate the molecular origins of the dynamical perturbation of hydration shell water relative to bulk water. We show that all four proteins have very similar hydration shell dynamics, despite their wide range of sizes and functions, and differing secondary structures. We demonstrate that this arises from the similar local surface topology and surface chemical composition of the four proteins, and that such local factors alone are sufficient to rationalize the hydration shell dynamics. We propose that these conclusions can be generalized to a wide range of globular proteins. We also show that protein conformational fluctuations induce a dynamical heterogeneity within the hydration layer. We finally address the effect of confinement on hydration shell dynamics via a site-resolved analysis and connect our results to experiments via the calculation of two-dimensional infrared spectra.

Abstract
The explicit trend of the distribution functions of single-molecule rotational relaxation constants and atomic mean-square displacement are used to study the dynamical heterogeneities in nanoconfined water. The trend of the single-molecule properties distributions is related to the dynamic heterogeneities, and to the dynamic crossovers found in water clusters of different shapes and sizes and confined in a variety of zeolites. This was true in all the cases that were considered, in spite of the various shapes and sizes of the clusters. It is confirmed that the high temperature dynamical crossover occurring in the temperature range 200-230 K can be interpreted at a molecular level as the formation of almost translationally rigid clusters, characterized by some rotational freedom, hydrogen bond exchange and translational jumps as cage-to-cage processes. We also suggest a mechanism for the low temperature dynamical crossover (LTDC), falling in the temperature range 150-185 K, through which the adsorbed water clusters are made of nearly rigid sub-clusters, slightly mismatched, and thus permitting a relatively free librational motion at their borders. It appears that the condition required for LTDC to occur is the presence of highly heterogeneous environments for the adsorbed molecules, with some dangling hydrogen bonds or weaker than water-water hydrogen bonds. Under these conditions some dynamics are permitted at very low temperature, although most rotational motion is frozen. Therefore, it is unlikely, though not entirely excluded, that LTDC will be found in supercooled bulk water where no heterogeneous interface is present.

Abstract
The perturbation induced by a hydrophobic solute on water dynamics is essential in many biochemical processes, but its mechanism and magnitude are still debated. A stringent test of the different proposed pictures is provided by recent NMR measurements by Qvist and Halle (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 10345-10353) which showed that, unexpectedly, the perturbation changes in a non-monotonic fashion when the solution is cooled below room temperature. Here we perform and analyze molecular dynamics simulations of a small paradigm amphiphilic solute, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), in dilute aqueous solutions over the 218-350 K temperature range. We first show that our simulations properly reproduce the non-monotonic temperature dependence. We then develop a model which combines our previously suggested entropic excluded-volume effect with a perturbation factor arising from the difference between local structural fluctuations in the shell and the bulk. Our model provides a detailed molecular understanding of the hydrophobic perturbation over the full temperature range investigated. It shows that the excluded-volume factor brings a dominant temperature-independent contribution to the perturbation at all temperatures, and provides a very good approximation at room temperature. The non-monotonic temperature dependence of the perturbation is shown to arise from the structural factor and mostly from relative shifts between the shell and bulk distributions of local structures, whose amplitude remains very small compared to the widths of those distributions.

Abstract
Structure and dynamics of water remain a challenge. Resolving the properties of hydrogen bonding lies at the heart of this puzzle. We employ ab initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) simulations over a wide temperature range. The total simulation time was ≈ 2 ns. Both bulk water and water in the presence of a small hydrophobic molecule were simulated. We show that large-angle jumps and bond bifurcations are fundamental properties of water dynamics and that they are intimately coupled to both local density and hydrogen bond strength oscillations in scales from about 60 to a few hundred femtoseconds: Local density differences are the driving force for bond bifurcations and the consequent large-angle jumps. The jumps are intimately connected to the recently predicted hydrogen bond energy asymmetry. Our analysis also appears to confirm the existence of the so-called negativity track provided by the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom to enable water rotation.

Abstract
Recent theoretical and experimental studies suggested the large-amplitude angular jump mechanism of the reorientational motions of water molecules. In this paper, we study the correlation effects of such angular jump motions, which are important for understanding a number of biological processes involving the motions of water molecules, by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that large-angular jump motions of a water molecule can enhance the successive jump motions of the same water molecule and the surrounding water molecules. Such a correlation can extend up to a distance of two water layers and is propagated through the perturbations to the local hydrogen bond networks. A detailed molecular picture of the correlation propagation is shown based on the molecular simulations.
