要旨

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in aqueous solution is widely used for the preservation of biological tissues under freezing conditions. DMSO and other agents are believed to act colligatively to depress the freezing point of water and, importantly, to promote the vitrification of water to prevent its crystallisation and the ensuing damage arising from the formation of intracellular ice. However, there has been no direct evidence of the precise effect of these agents on the vitrification properties of water. Here we report direct computational evidence, using molecular dynamics annealing simulations carried out within the experimentally inaccessible region in supercooled water, of a broadening of the glass transition of water, corresponding to the formation of a stronger glass in aqueous DMSO solutions. These findings provide insight at the molecular level into the mechanism of solvent cryoprotection by suggesting that the resulting thermodynamic stability of the glassy state of water reduces the probability of its nucleation and the subsequent formation of ice as the temperature is decreased.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
