ESR study of interfacial hydration layers of polypeptides in water-filled nanochannels and in vitrified bulk solvents.

There is considerable evidence for the essential role of surface water in protein function and structure. However, it is unclear to what extent the hydration water and protein are coupled and interact with each other. Here, we show by ESR experiments (cw, DEER, ESEEM, and ESE techniques) with spin-l...
