first solvation shell of glycine!

[Pradipta Bandyopadhyay <pradipta (- at -) si.fi.ameslab.gov>]

 Hi,
   I would like to know the no. of water molecules ( and their positions) in
  the first solvation shell of GLYCINE in aqueous solution. Can anyone tell
  me about some calculations/experimental results about this? Also, in general
  what is best source of knowing the first solvation shell of any solute?
  I shall summarize the replies. Thanks.
                               Pradipta
