Abstract
The contribution of water to DNA conformational change, DNA-protein interactions, and DNA-ligand recognition has been underlined. Here, we investigate the relaxation process of water around the Dickerson-Drew B-DNA duplex using terahertz spectroscopy. By controlling the DNA concentration, the relaxation time for water reorientation and the width of the DNA hydration la
