Abstract
- A structuring and eventual exclusion of water surrounding hydrogen bonds takes place during protein folding as desolvation shells are formed. Taken as an average over all hydrogen bonds, the extent of protection determined by the desolvation shell constitutes very nearly a constant of motion, as revealed by re-examination of the longest all-atom trajectory with explicit solvent [Y. Duan, P.A. Kollman, Science 282 (1998) 740]. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
