For decades, the enigma of the hydrophobic force has captured the imagination of scientists. In particular, Frank and Evans' idea that the hydrophobic effect was mainly due to some kind of "iceberg" formation around a hydrophobic solute stimulated many experiments

Semi-solid viscoelastic matrices produced out of lysozyme in organic/aqueous media [tetramethylurea (TMU)/water] were characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The scattering curves were modeled in their form and interference factors. Radii of gyration of scattering particles were found to

Rheological properties of lysozyme viscoelastic matrices resulting from a sol-gel transition taking place in organic/aqueous media at room temperature were investigated. Gel-like structures, of transparent appearance, developed out of lysozyme (5.0 mmol/dm(3)) dispersed in tetramethylurea (TMU)/water binary mixtures, at TMU

We use mid-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy to study the ultrafast dynamics of HDO molecules in mixtures of tetramethylurea (TMU) and water. The composition of the studied solutions ranges from pure water to an equimolar mixture of water and TMU. We find

We have used femtosecond midinfrared spectroscopy to study the orientational mobility of water molecules in the hydration shells of hydrophobic groups. Our results show that hydrophobic groups are surrounded by a number of water molecules that display much slower orientational
