[System-forming functions of bound water in the mechanism of topochemical reactions of formation of ultrathin layers on water surface].

The system-forming role of the surface layer of water in the process of formation of ultrathin layers from the epoxide oligomer and triethylenetetramine or phosphotungstic acid on the surface of the aqueous phase is shown. Previously, this process was studied experimentally. The surface layer of the aqueous phase plays the role of a matrix, on which an epoxide oligomer monolayer and triethylenetetramine or phosphotungstic acid molecules are immobilized by hydrogen-bonding with water molecules from above or from below this matrix, respectively. Thus, topochemical reactions between the epoxide oligomer and triethylenetetramine or between the epoxide oligomer molecules in the presence of phosphotungstic acid become possible, so that ultrathin network epoxide-triethilenetetramine or epoxide layers are formed on the surface of water.

[The significance of modular design in the investigation of processes of system self-organization].

A model of the process of determined system self-organization based on system-forming modular water structures is proposed. The arrangement and symmetry of these structures, described by the symmetry groups entanglement, matches the basic principles of system self-organization: "system of systems", "recognition", "all-or-none". Crystallography modular generalization engulfs all stable forms of condensed state, including the bound water structures--matrices for the self-organization of biological systems. The bound water structures, besides being matrices, accomplish the metric selection of other structural components of biological systems capable of self-organization into a whole system by creating numerous directed weak bonds among them.

[Computer module design of the parametric structure of water]. / Komp'iuternyi modul'nyi dizain parametricheskikh struktur vody.

The algorithms of module design and the results of constructing the parametric structures of water were considered. The tetrahedral electron structure of the oxygen atom of water, which is a double symmetric donor and acceptor of protons, was taken as the main postulate. As opposed to the crystal lattices of diamond and ice, the hexacycle twist-bath was considered as the basic element of the original structure. A great variety of possible structures were obtained, which involve quasi-unidimensional (helices, rods), dendrite-like, ring-shaped, planar, and fractal structures, as well as combinatoric structures composed of these forms. The functions of distribution of valence angles in fractal structures optimized with respect to energy have two main maxima at 104 and 112 degrees, as differentiated from the starting ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees. Changes in, and the accumulation of elastic energy of distortions of rod structure of different symmetry were analyzed. This energy can be utilized during the conformational changes of biopolymers. The substantial difference in the solubility of two anomeric forms of glucose is explained by a different degree of conformity of the glucose molecule structure to the structure of bound water.
