The effects of hydration on equilibrium protein structure and dynamics are fundamental to the relationship between structure and biological function. In particular, the configuration of water molecules near the hydrophilic–hydrophobic interfaces is of considerable relevance. The structure of water, confined in model systems developing either hydrophilic or hydrophobic interactions, is compared with that of bulk supercooled water and water under pressure, as determined by neutron scattering.
