P2.60Tue 611:23-14:00Solute-solvent interactions in aqueousglycylglycine-CuCl 2 solutions: acoustical and moleculardynamics perspectiveSantosh Mysore 11 University of Wisconsin, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering,University of Wisconsin 53706, MADISON, United States of AmericaAcoustical and Molecular Dynamics studies were carried out to understand the various interactionsin glycylglycine-CuCl 2 aqueous solutions. Amongst all, hydrogen bonding and solute-solvent interactionshave been the highlights of the study. Radial distribution function (RDF) was used toinvestigate solution structure and hydration parameters. Binding of Cu2+ with various polar peptideatoms reveals the nature and degree of binding. Both experimental and theoretical results haveproved to be efficient in analyzing the behavior of molecules and give a clear idea on molecularinteractions in solutions.60
