To isolate the contribution of water to the vibrational fluctuations that occur between DNA, bulk water, and the charged biomolecular interface between the two, researchers in Berlin have performed two-dimensional spectroscopic analyses on double-stranded DNA helices at different hydration levels. They detail their investigations in this week's Structural Dynamics.
