The Role of Solvent Fluctuations in Hydrophobic Assembly

We use a coarse grained solvent model to study the self assembly of two nano-scale hydrophobic particles in water. We show how solvent degrees of freedom are involved in the process. By using tools of transition path sampling, we elucidate the reaction coordinates describing the assembly. In accord...
