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 nano-confined environment and therefore exhibit behaviours which differ from that of bulk water. Here, we investigate the phenomenon of hydrophobic gating, the process by which a nanopore may spontaneously de-wet to form a ‘vapour lock’ if the...
