The dielectric relaxation of aqueous alanine was studied to investigate the hydrophobic behavior at low temperatures and concentrations, revealing that alanine exhibits more hydrophobicity towards such conditions. Molecular interactions between alanine and water were also explored through dielectric parameters, supporting the thermodynamic parameters calculated for the hydrophobic behavior of alanine at low temperatures and concentrations.
Physical, chemical and microbiological stability of the materials is affected by the rotational and translational mobility of free and hydrated water. The role of water in areas such as protein hydration and enzyme activity, food technology, lyophilization and polymers hydration is, therefore, important and can be well understood in terms of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Concentration and temperature-dependent hydrophobicity of amino acid is reflected in their tendencies to appear in appropriate positions in proteins. Therefore, to gain more insights on the temperature and concentration dependence of hydrophobicity and structural properties of amino acid, dielectric relaxation of aqueous alanine have been studied in the temperature region 303.15 K to 278.15 K. Time domain spectroscopy have been used in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 30 GHz and in the concentration range 0.18708 <= c/M <= 0.74831. Two relaxation processes namely the low-frequency relaxation (l) and the high-frequency relaxation (h) has been detected for the aqueous alanine. Dielectric parameters such as static dielectric constant (epsilon(j)), relaxation time (tau(j)) dipole moments (u) and correlation factor (g) have been studied to investigate molecular interaction between alanine and water. The number of water molecules irrotationally bond by the solute molecules (Z(ib)) was also determined to examine the hydrophobicity of alanine which was found more hydrophobic towards low temperatures and concentrations. Thermodynamic parameters calculated are also supported well for the hydrophobic behaviour of alanine towards low temperatures and concentrations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
