  • Abstract
    It is very important to keep the volume of intracellular through organ preservation. We focused the structure of intracellular water. Because this report is a precursor study for new organ preservation technology, we defined the system contains only water and hydrogen molecules. The calculation was done by a code of molecular dynamics method; MXDTRICL. We made a new suggestion of possibility to suppress the change of intracellular volume if the water molecules construct the crystal of clathrate hydrates. For future prospects, we have to find the best guest molecules and their condition for making effective clathrate in the cell
