Water states in living systems. I. Structural aspects

Physiol Chem Phys Med NMR. 1994;26(4):299-322.

Abstract

Formation and special consequences of water-ordering are studied and discussed. Based on the knowledge of the water states, a special dynamic clustering (called dynamic frustration) is suggested. This can be an essential mechanism for life processes. A frustration mechanism and its consequences are discussed.
