The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and to be excluded by water. The word hydrophobic...

hydropathicity, or hydropathy. The hydrophobic effect represents the tendency of water to exclude non-polar molecules. The effect originates from the disruption...

(húdōr) 'water' and Ancient Greek φόβος (phóbos) 'fear'. The hydrophobic interaction is mostly an entropic effect originating from the disruption of the highly dynamic...

electron-rich π-system of a conjugated molecule.[citation needed] The hydrophobic effect is the desire for non-polar molecules to aggregate in aqueous solutions...

the number of hydrophobic side-chains exposed to water is an important driving force behind the folding process. The hydrophobic effect is the phenomenon...

mainly macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) by weakening the hydrophobic effect. For example, a chaotropic agent reduces the amount of order in the...

Dahlquist proposed a covalent mechanism for lysozyme based on kinetic isotope effect, but for a long time the ionic mechanism was more accepted. In 2001, a revised...
