Hydration of biological macromolecules is important for their stability and function. Historically, attempts have been made to describe the degree of macromolecular hydration using a single parameter over a narrow range of values. Here, we describe a method to calculate two types of hydration: surface shell water and entrained water. A consideration of these two types of hydration helps to explain the “hydration problem” in hydrodynamics. The combination of these two types of hydration allows accurate calculation of hydrodynamic volume and related macromolecular properties such as sedimentation and diffusion coefficients, intrinsic viscosities, and the concentration-dependent non-ideality identified with sedimentation velocity experiments.
