Abstract

Most physical properties of water are anomalous and such anomalies must be accounted for in terms of the intermolecular potential and the molecular distributions. Aqueous solutions reflect some of these anomalies, usually referred to as “water structure”. Several fundamentally different types of hydration interactions can be distinguished. Their sensitive balance is the main contributing factor to the maintenance of so-called native structures which are essential for the functioning of biologically active molecules.
