Summary
The aims of this paper are (i) to review our knowledge of solvent structure obtained from crystallographic studies of proteins and nucleic acids and (ii) to discuss structural aspects of computer simulations intended to increase our understanding of aqueous hydration of macromolecules. I shall use results from both crystallography and computer simulations in order to present a unified view of the structure of hydrogen bonded water networks surrounding biomolecules.
