Abstract
A comprehensive and realistic knowledge oi water-protein interactions contributes to our understanding oi protein folding and structure-func tion relationships. This mini-review summarizes recent progress in exp erimental and theoretical research on how and why water is ordered at protein surfaces, and discusses issues related to the reliability of e xperimental results.
