摘要: In this thesis, we report on our studies of water dynamics and structure in various biological environments which include: the surfaces proteins oligosaccharides, intervening space between proteins; vicinity cryoprotectant di-saccharides liquid ice phases. From a theoretical perspective, propose methodology to compute diffusivity residence times surface biomolecules. particular proposed algorithm appears be better dealing with poor statistics associated number molecules that remain for extended times. The type linkage monomers anomeric configuration all play major role determining carbohydrates. Abstract Approved: Thesis SupervisorApproved: Supervisor Title Department
