Molecular dynamics study of free energy of transfer of alcohol and amine from water phase to the micelle by thermodynamic integration method.

Free energy of transfer of methylamine, octylamine, methanol, and octanol from water phase to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle has been calculated using thermodynamic integration method combined with molecular dynamics calculations. Together with the results for alkanes obtained in our previous study [K. Fujimoto, N. Yoshii, and S. Okazaki, J. Chem. Phys. 133, 074511 (2010)], the effect of polar group on the partition of hydrophilic solutes between water phase and the micelle has been investigated in detail at a molecular level. The calculations showed that the molecules with octyl group are more stable in the SDS micelle than in the water phase due to their hydrophobicity of long alkyl chain. In contrast, methanol and methylamine are stable in the water phase as well as in the micelle because of their high hydrophilicity. The spatial distribution of methylamine, octylamine, methanol, and octanol has also been evaluated as a function of the distance, R, from the center of mass of SDS micelle to the solutes. The distribution shows that the methylamine molecule is adsorbed on the SDS micelle surface, while the methanol molecule is delocalized among the whole system, i.e., in the water phase, on the surface of the micelle, and in the hydrophobic core of the micelle. The octylamine and octanol molecules are solubilized in the SDS micelle with palisade layer structure and are not found in the water phase.
