Molecular Self-Assembly

Biological processes are intimately linked to the unique properties of water and the versatility with which it interacts with a wide variety of biomolecules. Neutron diffraction experiments can be utilised to obtain information on the average structural interactions of model systems in solution on a local length scale (1−10 Å). Our experiments have shown that simple aqueous solutions display complex hydrogen bonding patterns, where networks of water molecules percolate throughout the system.
