Abstract

Classical molecular-dynamics simulations have been performed to examine the interplay between ubiquitin and its hydration-water sub-layers, chiefly from a vibrational-mode and IR viewpoint-where we analyse individual sub-layers characteristics. The vibrational Density of States (VDOS) revealed that the first solvation sub-shell indicates a confined character therein. For layers of increasing distance from the surface, the adoption of greater bulk-like spectral behaviour was evident, suggesting that vibrational harmonisation to bulk occurs within 6-7 Å of the surface.
