Importantly, it has been suggested over the years that this interfacial water, namely vicinal water, provides a favorable environment for organic compounds to partition from bulk aqueous environments [53].
Lowering the p Ka of tyrosines in albumin by modifying their environment, either by mutagenesis or by chemical modification of vicinal residues, would increase the reactivity of albumin with OP. Specific nitration of tyrosine by tetranitromethane was found to lower the p Ka of tyrosine to 6.8 (20).
These sets of PCBs include several highly chlorinated congeners without vicinal hydrogens that tend to be highly persistent, and accumulate in the environment [ 17- 19].
Based on NOEs, vicinal coupling constants, backbone amide exchange rates, and chemical shift indices, PGAa formed a long amphipathic α-helical conformation in both TFE and DPC micelle environments, spanning the residues Ile2 Ala19 in TFE and Lys5 Ala19 in DPC micelle, respectively.
In Si 553 -Au and related vicinal Si 553 -Aurfands, this anisotrelatedises naturally at the step edge.

Surfers are like farmers or hunters in their rapt absorption in nature's vicinal habits and vagaries.

For example, step edges on vicinal Si(111) can be atomically smooth for distances as great as 20,000 lattice sites5.
