PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 317:124413.

Abstract
Isosbestic point is often observed in a series of spectra, but their interpretation is still controversial, such as whether the continuum model can produce an isosbestic point. In order to answer this question, the Raman spectra of hydration shell with continuous distribution structure in different ionic aqueous solutions were separated by Raman ratio spectra, and an isosbestic point was successfully observed. Our experimental results show that the continuum model can indeed produce the isosbestic point. In order to deepen the understanding of the isosbestic point, we calculate the first moment of the Raman spectra and conduct molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both experimental and theoretical findings indicate that elevated temperatures lead to increased disorder among water molecules within the hydration shell.

Abstract
This study overviews and extends a recently developed stochastic finite-temperature Kohn-Sham density functional theory to study warm dense matter using Langevin dynamics, specifically under periodic boundary conditions. The method's algorithmic complexity exhibits nearly linear scaling with system size and is inversely proportional to the temperature. Additionally, a linear-scaling stochastic approach is introduced to assess the Kubo-Greenwood conductivity, demonstrating exceptional stability for dc conductivity. Utilizing the developed tools, we investigate the equation of state, radial distribution, and electronic conductivity of hydrogen at a temperature of 30 000 K. As for the radial distribution functions, we reveal a transition of hydrogen from gaslike to liquidlike behavior as its density exceeds 4g/cm^{3}. As for the electronic conductivity as a function of the density, we identified a remarkable isosbestic point at frequencies around 7 eV, which may be an additional signature of a gas-liquid transition in hydrogen at 30 000 K.

Abstract
In this paper we would like to highlight the problems of conceiving the "Hydrogen Bond" (HB) as a real short-range, directional, electrostatic, attractive interaction and to reframe its nature through the non-approximated view of condensed matter offered by a Quantum Electro-Dynamic (QED) perspective. We focus our attention on water, as the paramount case to show the effectiveness of this 40-year-old theoretical background, which represents water as a two-fluid system (where one of the two phases is coherent). The HB turns out to be the result of the electromagnetic field gradient in the coherent phase of water, whose vacuum level is lower than in the non-coherent (gas-like) fraction. In this way, the HB can be properly considered, i.e., no longer as a "dipolar force" between molecules, but as the phenomenological effect of their collective thermodynamic tendency to occupy a lower ground state, compatible with temperature and pressure. This perspective allows to explain many "anomalous" behaviours of water and to understand why the calculated energy associated with the HB should change when considering two molecules (water-dimer), or the liquid state, or the different types of ice. The appearance of a condensed, liquid, phase at room temperature is indeed the consequence of the boson condensation as described in the context of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). For a more realistic and authentic description of water, condensed matter and living systems, the transition from a still semi-classical Quantum Mechanical (QM) view in the first quantization to a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) view embedded in the second quantization is advocated.

Abstract
Attempts to understand the molecular structure of water were first made well over a century ago. Looking back at the various attempts, it is illuminating to see how these were conditioned by the state of knowledge of chemistry and physics at the time and the experimental and theoretical tools then available. Progress in the intervening years has been facilitated by not only conceptual and theoretical advances in physics and chemistry but also the development of experimental techniques and instrumentation. Exploitation of powerful computational methods in interpreting what at first sight may seem impenetrable experimental data has led us to the consistent and detailed picture we have today of not only the structure of liquid water itself and how it changes with temperature and pressure but also its interactions with other molecules, in particular those relevant to water's role in important chemical and biological processes. Much remains to be done in the latter areas, but the experimental and computational techniques that now enable us to do what might reasonably be termed "liquid state crystallography" have opened the door to make possible further advances. Consequently, we now have the tools to explore further the role of water in those processes that underpin life itself-the very prospect that inspired Bernal to develop his ideas on the structure of liquids in general and of water in particular.

Abstract
This work presents improvements of the description of liquid water within the self-consistent-charge density-functional based tight-binding scheme combining the use of Weighted Mulliken (WMull) charges and optimized O-H repulsive potential through the iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) process. The quality of the newly developed models is validated considering pair radial distribution functions (RDFs), as well as other structural, energetic, thermodynamic, and dynamic properties. The use of WMull charges certainly improves the agreement with experimental data, however leading to over-structured RDFs at short distance, that can be further improved by considering an optimized O-H repulsive potential obtained by the IBI process. Three different schemes were used to optimize this potential: (i) optimization including short O-H distances. This led to accurate RDFs as well as improved self-diffusion coefficient and heat of vaporization, while the proton transfer energy barrier is severely deteriorated; (ii) optimization starting at long distance. The proton transfer energy barrier is recovered while the heat of vaporization is deteriorated and the O-H RDF is less accurate at short distance; (iii) optimization within the path-integral molecular dynamics scheme which allows us to exclude nuclear quantum effects from the repulsive potential. The latter potential, in conjunction with the WMull improved atomic charges, provides similar results as (i) for structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties while recovering a large part of the proton transfer energy barrier. It therefore offers a good compromise to study both dynamic properties and chemistry within liquid water at a quantum chemical level.

Abstract
Water structure modification by carbohydrates is essential both in chemistry and life processes and in particular, molecular level interaction of glucose with water is very important. With a view to developing a fundamental knowledge base, thermodynamic parameters derived from measurements of density, viscosity, and refractive index have been analyzed to investigate how d-(+)-glucose alters the structure of water at various concentrations and temperatures. The nature and extent of the interactions have been investigated using apparent molar volume, Jones-Dole constants, changes in free energy (ΔG), changes in entropy (ΔS), and changes in enthalpy (ΔH) for viscous flow. Using measurements from dynamic light scattering (DLS), the sizes of the aggregates were studied. The kinetics of mutarotation have been investigated using polarimetry and the structural effect on water during mutarotation between α-d-glucose and β-d-glucose with time has been explored by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic results were examined using difference spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS). The absorption bands of water shift to a higher wavenumber irrespective of the concentration of the solution with time due to the enhancement of the cleavage of hydrogen bonding in water. At high temperatures, three bands in the region 7100-7350 cm-1 are attributed to the first overtones of the hydrogen-bonded -O-H stretching vibration. Refractive index values indicate an increase in the density of the anomer solutions with time, suggesting an increase in free water concentration. These results provide evidence for more than one water molecule being involved in the mechanism of mutarotation and propose a concerted mechanism for proton transfer.

Abstract
In near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), the linear relationship between absorbance and an absorbing compound concentration has been strictly defined by the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert law only for the case of transmission measurements of nonscattering media. However, various quantitative calibrations have been successfully built both on reflectance measurements and for scattering media. Although the lack of linearity for scattering media has been observed experimentally, the sound multivariate statistics and signal processing involved in chemometrics have allowed us to overcome this problem in most cases. However, in the case of samples with varying water content, important modifications of scattering levels still make calibrations difficult to build due to nonlinearities. Moreover, even when calibration procedures are successfully developed, many preprocessing methods used do not guarantee correct spectroscopic assignments (in the sense of a pure chemical absorbance). In particular, this may prevent correct modeling and interpretation of the structure of water. In this study, dynamic near-infrared spectra acquired during a drying process allow the study of the physical effects of water content variations, with a focus on the first overtone OH absorbance region. A model sample consisting of aluminum pellets mixed with water allowed us to study this specifically, without any other absorbing interaction terms related to the dry mass-absorbing constituents. A new formulation of the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert law is proposed, by expressing path length as a power function of water content. Through this new formulation, it is shown that a better and simpler prediction model of water content may be developed, with more precise and accurate identification of water absorbance bands.

Abstract
Theoretical description of liquids, especially liquid water, is an ongoing subject with important implications in various domains such as homogeneous catalysis; solvation of molecular, ionic, and biomolecular species; and reactivity. Various formalisms exist to describe liquids, each one displaying its own balance between accuracy and computational cost that defines its range of applications. The present article revisits the ability of the density-functional-based tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) approach to model liquids by focusing on liquid water and liquid benzene under ambient conditions. To do so, we benchmark a recent correction for the SCC-DFTB atomic charges that allows for a drastic improvement of the pair radial distribution functions of liquid water as compared to both experimental data and density-functional theory results performed in the generalized-gradient approximation. We also report the coupling of the deMonNano and i-PI codes to perform path-integral molecular dynamics. This allows us to rationalize the impact of nuclear quantum effects on the SCC-DFTB description of liquid water. This study evidences the rather good ability of SCC-DFTB to describe liquid water and liquid benzene. As the first example of application, we also present results for a benzene molecule solvated in water with the perspectives of further studies devoted to solvent/water interfaces.

Abstract
X-ray and neutron scattering have provided insight into the short range (<8 Å) structures of ionic solutions for over a century. For longer distances, single scattering bands have, however, been seen. For the non-hydrolyzing salt SrI2 in aqueous (D2O) solution, a structure sufficient to scatter slow neutrons has been seen to persist down to a concentration of 0.1 mol L-1 where the measured average spacing between scatterers is over 20 Å. Theoretical studies of such long distance solution structures are difficult, and these difficulties are discussed. The width of the distribution in distances between the scatterers (ions, ion pairs, etc.) remains less than 10 Å, which approximates the average size of the ions and their first hydration shell. Here, we measure the temperature dependence from 10 °C to 90 °C of the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) by a 0.5 molar SrI2 solution in D2O and find that this surprisingly narrow distribution of the distances remains constant within experimental uncertainty. This structure of the ions in the solution appears to endure because changes in interion distances along any single spatial dimension require displacements near the size of a water molecule. Together, the experimental measurements support a rotatory mechanism for simultaneous ion transport and water countertransport. Since rotation minimizes displacement of the solution framework, it is suggested that water transport alone also involves rotation of multimolecular structures, and that the interpretation of single-molecule water rotation is confounded by pseudorotation that results from paired picosecond proton exchanges. It is pointed out that NMR-determined millisecond to microsecond proton exchange times of chelated-metal-ion bound waters and the much faster chelate rotational correlation times around 10 picoseconds, both of which require making and breaking of hydrogen bonds, are difficult to impossible to reconcile.

Abstract
The appearance and formation of an isosbestic point in the temperature-dependent IR spectra can be used to reveal a phase transition at a certain temperature. This conclusion was made by a thorough investigation of the IR (transmission and ATR) spectra of methylammonium iodide (MAI) and formamidinium iodide (FAI) recorded in a wide temperature range starting from -170 to +200 °C. By investigating the isosbestic points, it was found that MAI undergoes two phase transitions at -110 and +146 °C. The results obtained for FAI also showed two phase transitions at 73 and 115 °C. Furthermore, it was found that the shift of certain bands that are provoked by the phase change could be used to calculate the transition temperature. So far, according to the literature data, no attempts have been made to reveal the exact temperature of phase transitions using IR spectroscopic techniques.

Abstract
For understanding the role of water in the aggregation of polymers, the variation of water structures with the structural change of polymers in the process of aggregation was studied by temperature-dependent near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The NIR spectra of the aqueous poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) solutions of different concentrations were measured at different temperatures. The spectral changes of the polymer and water with temperature were analyzed by N-way principal component analysis (NPCA). It was found that, at low concentration, the chains of the polymer tend to form a loose hydrophobic structure below 36 °C and then aggregate into a micelle at a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of around 39 °C. In the process of the aggregation, the water species with two hydrogen bonds (S2) increases gradually before 36 °C and then a sudden decrease occurs after that temperature. The results clearly indicate that water species S2 plays an important role in the formation of the intermediate, i.e., the loose hydrophobic structure of the polymer chains linked by the two hydrogen bonds of S2 water. When the temperature increases, the dissociation of the hydrogen bonds enables the intermediate to be destroyed to form a micelle structure. For the high concentration solution, however, the spectral information of S2 was not found in the aggregation, suggesting direct formation of the micelle from the dehydrated chains.

Abstract
Aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in natural environments, spanning atmospheric, geological, oceanographic, and biological systems, as well as in technical applications, such as fuel cells and membrane filtration. Where liquid water terminates at a surface, an interfacial region is formed, which exhibits distinct properties from the bulk aqueous phase. The unique properties of water are governed by the hydrogen-bonded network. The chemical and physical properties of the surface dictate the boundary conditions of the bulk hydrogen-bonded network and thus the interfacial properties of the water and any molecules in that region. Understanding the properties of interfacial water requires systematically characterizing the structure and dynamics of interfacial water as a function of the surface chemistry. In this review, we focus on the use of experimental surface-specific spectroscopic methods to understand the properties of interfacial water as a function of surface chemistry. Investigations of the air-water interface, as well as efforts in tuning the properties of the air-water interface by adding solutes or surfactants, are briefly discussed. Buried aqueous interfaces can be accessed with careful selection of spectroscopic technique and sample configuration, further expanding the range of chemical environments that can be probed, including solid inorganic materials, polymers, and water immiscible liquids. Solid substrates can be finely tuned by functionalization with self-assembled monolayers, polymers, or biomolecules. These variables provide a platform for systematically tuning the chemical nature of the interface and examining the resulting water structure. Finally, time-resolved methods to probe the dynamics of interfacial water are briefly summarized before discussing the current status and future directions in studying the structure and dynamics of interfacial water.

Abstract
An understanding of molecular interactions is essential for insight into biological systems at the molecular scale. Among the various components of molecular interactions, electrostatics are of special importance because of their long-range nature and their influence on polar or charged molecules, including water, aqueous ions, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and membrane lipids. In particular, robust models of electrostatic interactions are essential for understanding the solvation properties of biomolecules and the effects of solvation upon biomolecular folding, binding, enzyme catalysis, and dynamics. Electrostatics, therefore, are of central importance to understanding biomolecular structure and modeling interactions within and among biological molecules. This review discusses the solvation of biomolecules with a computational biophysics view toward describing the phenomenon. While our main focus lies on the computational aspect of the models, we provide an overview of the basic elements of biomolecular solvation (e.g. solvent structure, polarization, ion binding, and non-polar behavior) in order to provide a background to understand the different types of solvation models.

Abstract
Water defines life on Earth from the cellular to the terrestrial level. Yet the molecular level arrangement in water is not well understood, posing problems in comprehending its very special chemical, physical and biological properties. Here we present high-resolution x-ray diffraction data for water clearly showing that its molecular arrangement exhibits specific correlations that are consistent with the presence of rings of H(2)O molecules linked together by hydrogen bonds into tetrahedral-like units from a continuous network. This level of molecular arrangement complexity is beyond what a simple 'two-state' model of water (Bernal and Fowler 1933 J. Chem. Phys.1 515-48) could explain. It may not be explained by the recently put forward 'chains-clusters of completely uncorrelated molecules' model (Wernet et al 2004 Science 304 995-9) either. Rather it indicates that water is homogeneous down to the molecular level where different water molecules form tetrahedral units of different perfection and/or participate in rings of different sizes, thus experiencing different local environments. The local diversity of this tetrahedral network coupled to the flexibility of the hydrogen bonds that hold it together may explain well the rich phase diagram of water and why it responds non-uniformly to external stimuli such as, for example, temperature and pressure.

Abstract
Absorption of CW Yb-fiber laser light of 1.07 μm wavelength in water has been measured at different water temperatures and laser intensities. The absorption coefficient was estimated to be 0.135 cm(-1) at 25 °C water temperature, and this was found to decrease with temperature at a rate of 5.7 × 10(-4) cm(-1) °C(-1). The absorption coefficient increased significantly when the laser beam was focused in water, and the increase depended on the distance of the focal point from the water surface. This has been attributed to the absorption and scattering losses of laser radiation in a cavity formed in water by the focused beam at laser intensities in the megawatts per square centimeter and higher range.

Abstract
Singular value decomposition paves the way for systematic investigations of temperature- and pressure-dependent radial distribution functions. The decomposition into (weighted) Grund radial distribution functions (GRDF) shows that the temperature-dependent water structure can easily be understood by only three contributions: a major temperature-independent contribution from the first GRDF, a major temperature-dependent contribution from the second GRDF, and a minor temperature-dependent fine structure contribution from the third GRDF.

Abstract
Using a combination of isothermal-isobaric Monte Carlo and microcanonical molecular dynamics we investigate the relation between structure and self-diffusion in various phases of a model liquid crystal using the Gay-Berne-Kihara potential. These molecules are confined to a mesoscopic slit pore with atomically smooth substrate surfaces. As reported recently [seeM. G. Mazza et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 227802 (2010)], a reentrant nematic (RN) phase may form at sufficiently high pressures and densities. This phase is characterized by a high degree of nematic order and a substantially enhanced self-diffusivity in the direction of the director n that exceeds that of the lower-density nematic and an intermittent smectic-A phase by about an order of magnitude. Here we demonstrate that the unique transport behavior in the RN phase may be linked to a confinement-induced packing effect that causes the formation of supramolecular, stringlike conformations. The strings consist of several molecules traveling in the direction of n as individual "trains" consisting of chains of molecular "cars."

Abstract
The microscopic structure of liquid methanol has been systematically investigated with Raman spectroscopy in a temperature range of 15-55 degrees C. The unbonded free -OH stretching vibrational band has been observed at approximately 3660 cm(-1) in pure liquid. With the aid of depolarization measurements and theoretical calculations, four featured spectral components have been unambiguously identified and assigned to four well-defined vibrational modes of clusters in chain or ring forms. Furthermore, the cluster size distribution and its temperature dependence have been derived from the spectral fittings for the first time, which lead to the conclusion that the trimer, tetramer, and pentamer are the dominant clusters in liquid methanol, taking up more than 50% of total clusters.

Abstract
The evolution of the structure of water from the stable high temperature liquid to its glass, low-density amorphous ice (LDA), is studied through large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with the mW model [J. Phys. Chem. B 113, 4008 (2009)]. We characterize the density, translational, and orientational ordering of liquid water from the high temperature stable liquid to the low-density glass LDA at the critical cooling rate for vitrification. A continuous transition to a tetrahedrally ordered low-density liquid is observed at 50 K below the temperature of maximum density and 25 K above a temperature of minimum density. The structures of the low-density liquid and glass are consistent with that of a continuous random tetrahedral network. The liquid-liquid transformation temperature T(LL), defined by the maximum isobaric expansivity, coincides with the maximum rate of change in the local structure of water. Long-range structural fluctuations of patches of four-coordinated molecules form in the liquid. The correlation length of the four-coordinated patches in the liquid increases according to a power law in the range 300 K to T(LL)+10 K; a maximum is predicted at T(LL). To the best of our knowledge this is the first direct estimation of the Widom line of supercooled water through the analysis of structural correlations.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd(3+)) vibronic sideband luminescence spectroscopy (GVSBLS) is used to probe, as a function of added Hofmeister series salts, changes in the OH stretching frequency derived from first-shell waters of aqueous Gd(3+) and of Gd(3+) coordinated to three different types of molecules: (i) a chelate (EDTA), (ii) structured peptides (mSE3/SE2) of the lanthanide-binding tags (LBTs) family with a single high-affinity binding site, and (iii) a calcium-binding protein (calmodulin) with four binding sites. The vibronic sideband (VSB) corresponding to the OH stretching mode of waters coordinated to Gd(3+), whose frequency is inversely correlated with the strength of the hydrogen bonding to neighboring waters, exhibits an increase in frequency when Gd(3+) becomes coordinated to either EDTA, calmodulin, or mSE3 peptide. In all of these cases, the addition of cation chloride or acetate salts to the solution increases the frequency of the vibronic band originating from the OH stretching mode of the coordinated waters in a cation- and concentration-dependent fashion. The cation dependence of the frequency increase scales with charge density of the cations, giving rise to an ordering consistent with the Hofmeister ordering. On the other hand, water Raman spectroscopy shows no significant change upon addition of these salts. Additionally, it is shown that the cation effect is modulated by the specific anion used. The results indicate a mechanism of action for Hofmeister series ions in which hydrogen bonding among hydration shell waters is modulated by several factors. High charge density cations sequester waters in a configuration that precludes strong hydrogen bonding to neighboring waters. Under such conditions, anion effects emerge as anions compete for hydrogen-bonding sites with the remaining free waters on the surface of the hydration shell. The magnitude of the anion effect is both cation and Gd(3+)-binding site specific.

Abstract
Computer simulation results are reported for a realistic polarizable potential model of water in the supercooled region. Three states, corresponding to the low density amorphous ice, high density amorphous ice, and very high density amorphous ice phases are chosen for the analyses. These states are located close to the liquid-liquid coexistence lines already shown to exist for the considered model. Thermodynamic and structural quantities are calculated, in order to characterize the properties of the three phases. The results point out the increasing relevance of the interstitial neighbors, which clearly appear in going from the low to the very high density amorphous phases. The interstitial neighbors are found to be, at the same time, also distant neighbors along the hydrogen bonded network of the molecules. The role of these interstitial neighbors has been discussed in connection with the interpretation of recent neutron scattering measurements. The structural properties of the systems are characterized by looking at the angular distribution of neighboring molecules, volume and face area distribution of the Voronoi polyhedra, and order parameters. The cumulative analysis of all the corresponding results confirms the assumption that a close similarity between the structural arrangement of molecules in the three explored amorphous phases and that of the ice polymorphs I(h), III, and VI exists.

A simple three-state lattice model that incorporates two states for locally ordered and disordered forms of liquid water in addition to empty cells is introduced. The model is isomorphic to the Blume-Emery-Griffith model. The locally ordered (O) and disordered (D) forms of water are treated as two components, and we assume that the density of the D component is larger. The density of the sample is determined by the fraction of cells occupied by the O and D forms of water. Due to the larger density of the D state, the strength of the van der Waals (vdW) interactions increases in the direction O-O<O-D<D-D. On the other hand, the H-bond interactions are assumed only for the O-O pairs. For the vdW and H-bond interaction parameters and the density ratio of the close-packed and ice forms of water compatible with experimentally known values, we find liquid-vapor and liquid-liquid transitions and the corresponding critical points in good agreement with other approaches. Water anomalies are correctly predicted within the mean-field approximation on a qualitative level.

Abstract
We use multidimensional infrared spectroscopy of the OH stretch of HOD in D2O to measure the interconversion of different hydrogen bonding environments. The OH stretching frequency distinguishes hydrogen bonded (HB) and non-hydrogen-bonded (NHB) configurations by their absorption on the low (red) and high (blue) sides of the line shape. Measured asymmetries in the two dimensional infrared OH line shapes are manifestations of the fundamentally different spectral relaxations of HB and NHB. HB oscillators exhibit coherent oscillations within the hydrogen-bonded free energy well before undergoing activated barrier crossing, resulting in the exchange of hydrogen bonded partners. Conversely, NHB oscillators rapidly return to HB frequencies within 150 fs. These results support a picture where NHB configurations are only visited transiently during large fluctuations about a hydrogen bond or during the switching of hydrogen bonding partners. The results are not consistent with the presence of entropically stabilized dangling hydrogen bonds or a conceptual picture of water as a mixture of environments with varying hydrogen bond strength separated by barriers >kT.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of local structures on the orientational motions in liquid water in terms of the instantaneous normal mode (INM) analysis. The local structures of a molecule in liquid water are characterized by two different kinds of index: the asphericity parameter of its Voronoi polyhedron and the numbers of the H bonds donated and accepted by the molecule. According to the two kinds of index, the molecules in the simulated water are classified into subensembles, for which the rotational contributions to the INM spectrum are calculated. Our results indicate that by increasing the asphericity, the rotational contribution has a shift toward the high-frequency end in the real spectrum and a decrease in the fraction of the imaginary modes. Furthermore, we find that this shift essentially relies on the number of the donated H bonds of a molecule, but has almost nothing to do with that of the accepted H bonds. The local structural effects resulting from the geometry of water molecule are also discussed.

Abstract
A vibrational analysis using FTIR and Raman spectroscopies was carried out on aqueous glucose solutions with a wide range of solute molar fractions and temperatures. The analysis was aimed at revealing structural changes in the local hydrogen-bonding (HB) network of liquid water, correlating these with the conservative properties of biomolecules, and comparing them with those of other sugars. The results of our measurements clearly show that the action of glucose is 2-fold; on one hand, there is a linkage with free hydroxyls of water; on the other, there is a slight lessening of the ordered (tetrahedral) H-bonded assembly of bulk H(2)O. These opposite effects do not balance each other, so the average HB interaction strength decreases on increasing glucose concentration. As a result, there is a reduction in the temperature dependence of solutions structure. In our opinion, this could be related to the low bioprotective action of this carbohydrate.

Abstract
Water was called by Szent-Gyorgi "life's mater and matrix, mother and medium." This chapter considers both aspects of his statement. Many astrobiologists argue that some, if not all, of Earth's water arrived during cometary bombardments. Amorphous water ices of comets possibly facilitated organization of complex organic molecules, kick-starting prebiotic evolution. In Gaian theory, Earth retains its water as a consequence of biological activity. The cell cytomatrix is a proteinaceous matrix/lattice incorporating the cytoskeleton, a pervasive, holistic superstructural network that integrates metabolic pathways. Enzymes of metabolic pathways are ordered in supramolecular clusters (metabolons) associated with cytoskeleton and/or membranes. Metabolic intermediates are microchanneled through metabolons without entering a bulk aqueous phase. Rather than being free in solution, even major signaling ions are probably clustered in association with the cytomatrix. Chloroplasts and mitochondria, like bacteria and archaea, also contain a cytoskeletal lattice, metabolons, and channel metabolites. Eukaryotic metabolism is mathematically a scale-free or small-world network. Enzyme clusters of bacterial origin are incorporated at a pathway level that is architecturally archaean. The eucaryotic cell may be a product of serial endosymbiosis, a chimera. Cell cytoplasm is approximately 80% water. Water is indisputably a conserved structural element of proteins, essential to their folding, specificity, ligand binding, and to enzyme catalysis. The vast literature of organized cell water has long argued that the cytomatrix and cell water are an entire system, a continuum, or gestalt. Alternatives are offered to mainstream explanations of cell electric potentials, ion channel, enzyme, and motor protein function, in terms of high-order cooperative systems of ions, water, and macromolecules. This chapter describes some prominent concepts of organized cell water, including vicinal water network theory, the association-induction hypothesis, wave-cluster theory, phase-gel transition theories, and theories of low- and high-density water polymorphs.
