A 3rd paper about the solute size effect on the strength of hydrophobic interaction was published. Based on the molecular simulation, we identified the thermodynamic and microscopic factors determining the solute size dependence of the solute-solute effective interaction in water.

A 2nd paper about the solute size dependence of osmotic second virial coefficients was published. Compared with our previous paper published in 2022, we succeeded in calculating virial coefficients for larger-size solutes using the umbrella sampling simulation.
