摘要
En 中文
We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of polypeptoid sequence on the structure and dynamics of its hydration waters. Polypeptoids provide an excellent platform to study small-molecule hydration in disordered polymers, as they can be precisely synthesized with a variety of sidechain chemistries. We examine water behavior near a set of peptoid oligomers in which the number and placement of nonpolar versus polar sidechains are systematically varied. To do this, we leverage a new computational workflow enabling accurate sampling of polypeptoid conformations. We find that the hydration waters are less dense, are more tetrahedral, and have slower dynamics compared to bulk water. The magnitude of these shifts increases with the number of nonpolar groups. We also find that shifts in the water structure and dynamics are strongly correlated, suggesting that experimental insight into the dynamics of hydration water obtained by Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (ODNP) also contains information about water structural properties. We then demonstrate the ability of ODNP to probe site-specific dynamics of hydration water near these model peptoid systems.
