A former science editor and consultant editor of the journal Nature, Dr Philip Ball, has written articles and reviews about water molecules being active moieties that determine the structure and function of intracellular components. The chemical nature of water determines the structure, function and hydration of intracellular biomolecules and assemblies. For example, the classic double-helix of DNA is hydration dependent and does not exist per se.
The review below by Dr Ball emphasizes water's active involvement in producing hydrophobic interactions and in determining the structure and function of cell proteins and nucleic acids. The review was published originally by the American Chemical Society (Chem Rev 2008, 108: 74-108). [Please note there is no abstract available in PubMed for this article.]

The article below by Dr Ball summarizes what is known about water behavior and hydration at hydrophobic surfaces. The article was published in the journal Nature (Nature 2003, 423: 25-26). [Please note there is no abstract available in PubMed for this article.]
