Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the influences of aqueous trehalose solution on the hydrophobic interactions between neopentane molecules. In this study, we consider six different trehalose concentrations ranging from 0% to 56%. We observe that with increasing trehalose concentration the dispersion of solute neopentane takes place. The neopentane-neopentane association constant value decreases with addition of trehalose. Our preferential interaction calculations suggest that with increasing trehalose concentration neopentane interacts preferentially with water over trehalose. Site-site neopentane-trehalose rdfs indicate that trehalose molecules are expelled out from the neopentane surface. Also observed are (i) trehalose induced second shell collapse of water network (ii) decrease in average number of water-water and water-trehalose hydrogen bonds with increasing trehalose concentration. We also find that addition of trehalose decreases the translational motion of all the solution species. The decrease in diffusion coefficient value is more pronounced for trehalose. We, further, observe that the ratio of the diffusion coefficient values of water and trehalose increases with increasing trehalose concentration.
