Water plays a central role in the assembly and the dynamics of charged systems such as proteins, enzymes, DNA, and surfactants. Yet it remains a challenge to resolve how water affects relaxation at a molecular level, particularly for assemblies of oppositely charged macromolecules. Here, the molecular origin of water's influence on the glass transition is quantified for several charged macromolecular systems. It is revealed that the glass transition temperature (<i>T</i><sub>g</sub>) is controll ...[more]
