Water nanoconfined in a hydrophobic pore: molecular dynamics simulations of transmembrane protein 175 and the influence of water models
Water molecules within biological ion channels are in a nanoconfined environment and therefore exhibit behaviors which differ from that of bulk water. Here, we investigate the phenomenon of hydrophobic gating, the process by which a nanopore may spontaneously dewet to form a “vapor lock” if the pore...
