Is there any chemist or biochemist who can help me with a reference
to work on so-called "bound water"? Bound water is water occurring
inside living cells. There has been a claim that somehow bound
water is chemically different from non-bound water, i.e., water
occurring outside living cells. Let me be more specific about what
"bound water" might mean.
(1) Bound water might be water with a chemical structure different
from non-bound water.
(2) Bound water may be water with the same chemical structure as
non-bound water, but functioning in a way it never does outside
living cells.
This question has to do with what are parts and wholes which in
turn has implications for questions about creation & evolution as
well as for questions about science and Christianity. Thanks to
any one who can provide a lead.
