Abstract :
Hydration dynamics in aqueous solution has been characterized using terahertz time domain spectroscopy. Hydration water differs from bulk water and directly influences the protein dynamics. By precise measurement of dielectric constants of aqueous solutions, we estimated hydration numbers accurately.
