Abstract
Self-diffusion coefficients for water in solutions of tobacco mosaic virus have been measured near the critical concentration of the solutions. The diffusion coefficients of the water in the solutions is very close to the diffusion coefficient of water in pure water. It is concluded from this data that no more than 3% of the water in a 4% tobacco mosaic virus solution is in a bound ice-like state. This statement is in disagreement with Jardetsky and Jardetsky who conclude from nuclear magnetic resonance measurements that as much as 20% of the water in a 1.9% tobacco mosaic virus solution exists in an ice-like structure.
