Analysis of salt effects on solubility of noble gases in water using the reference interaction site model theory
Masahiro Kinoshita,Fumio Hirata +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the reference interaction site model (RISM) equations for salt solutions in the bulk and near a solute atom of noble gases were solved for 1-1 salt solutions.

Numerical solution of the RHNC theory for fluids of non-spherical particles near a uniform planar wall
Masahiro Kinoshita,M. Harada +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid of the Picard-type and Newton-Raphson (NR) methods is developed for solving the reference hypernetted-chain (RHNC) theory for non-spherical particles near a uniform planar wall.

Essential roles of protein-solvent many-body correlation in solvent-entropy effect on protein folding and denaturation: Comparison between hard-sphere solvent and water
Hiraku Oshima,Masahiro Kinoshita +1 more
TL;DR: The all-inclusive investigation leads to the following results: the protein-water many-body correlation always plays critical roles in a variety of folding/unfolding processes; the hard-sphere solvent model fails when it does not correctly reproduce theprotein- water many- body correlation; and even at the ambient values, the many-Body correlation plays significant roles in the β-sheet formation and argument of relative stabilities of very similar structures of a protein.

Crucial importance of translational entropy of water in pressure denaturation of proteins
Yuichi Harano,Masahiro Kinoshita +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the entropic effect originating from the translational movement of water molecules plays critical roles in the pressure-induced denaturation of proteins, and it is shown that the exceptionally small size ofWater molecules among dense liquids in nature is crucial for pressure denaturation.
Solvation structure and stability of peptides in aqueous solutions analyzed by the reference interaction site model theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results of numerical analyses on solvation structure and conformational stability of a dipeptide and Met-enkephalin in the extended simple point charge (SPC/E) model water.
