) reveal that the disruption of the water network occurs around the interfacial regions between the cell and media, indicating the disintegration of the H-bonding network of bulk water due to the entrapment of water by the protein inside the cell. This hydration effect also becomes apparent around the area adjacent to the cellular nucleus, reflecting the fact that protein synthesis mainly occurs in this region. These results clearly show the presence of different molecular states of water inside living cells, which are not readily identified by conventional analysis methods.
