Table 5.

Number of water molecules associated with amino acids (hydration number) at different pH, recalculated from Burakowski and Gliński (2008)

Compound pH 1 pH 6 pH 11
Glycine 4.9 5.5 0.2
Alanine 5.3 6.2 1.6
Proline 6.1 8.7 3.1
Valine 6.7 8.5 3.9
Leucine 7.9 9.7 4.7

Hydration numbers for phenylalanine could not be calculated, since no data are available on the hydration of the phenyl group.
