Figure 2

Closer view of the HB interaction of sucrose and water. (A) Radial distribution functions of water oxygens and sucrose hydrogens. (B) Radial distribution functions of water hydrogens and sucrose oxygens. The radial distribution function of the Ow–Hw pair is reported as a light blue dashed line for comparison. The green line in (A) refers to methyl hydrogens, the red lines to O or H atoms on the fructose ring, and the black ones to those on the glucose ring. The blue, green, and magenta lines in (B) refer to the oxygens on and between the rings. (C) Number of HB contacts between water and hydrogen or oxygen sites on the glucose ring of sucrose. (D) Number of HB contacts between water and hydrogen or oxygen sites on the fructose ring of sucrose.
