abstract = {The interface between water and folded proteins is very
complex. Proteins have “patchy” solvent-accessible areas
composed of domains of varying hydrophobicity. The textbook
understanding is that these domains contribute additively to
interfacial properties (Cassie’s equation, CE). An
ever-growing number of modeling papers question the validity
of CE at molecular length scales, but there is no conclusive
experiment to support this and no proposed new theoretical
framework. Here, we study the wetting of model compounds
with patchy surfaces differing solely in patchiness but not
in composition. Were CE to be correct, these materials would
have had the same solid–liquid work of adhesion (WSL) and
time-averaged structure of interfacial water. We find
considerable differences in WSL, and sum-frequency
generation measurements of the interfacial water structure
show distinctively different spectral features.
Molecular-dynamics simulations of water on patchy surfaces
capture the observed behaviors and point toward significant
nonadditivity in water density and average orientation. They
show that a description of the molecular arrangement on the
surface is needed to predict its wetting properties. We
propose a predictive model that considers, for every
molecule, the contributions of its first-nearest neighbors
as a descriptor to determine the wetting properties of the
surface. The model is validated by measurements of WSL in
multiple solvents, where large differences are observed for
solvents whose effective diameter is smaller than ∼6 Å.
The experiments and theoretical model proposed here provide
a starting point to develop a comprehensive understanding of
complex biological interfaces as well as for the engineering
of synthetic ones.},
