Carbohydrate is one of the most abundant biological molecules on the earth. Monosaccharide is the minimal unit of all carbohydrates; thus knowledge of monosaccharide is useful for other sugar complexes. In human body, most of monosaccharide solvate in water. Therefore, the molecular behavior of monosaccharide and water molecules in hydration shell is important for thermophysical properties of monosaccharide solutions. Here, we performed molecular dynamics simulations of monosaccharide solutions at different temperatures, concentrations and monosaccharide species to investigate the effect of the differences. Using spatial distribution functions, we successfully visualized the differences of hydrations shell around monosaccharide affected by these differences.
