Hydrophobic collapse of trigger factor monomer in solution.
Trigger factor (TF) is a chaperone, found in bacterial cells and chloroplasts, that interacts with nascent polypeptide chains to suppress aggregation. While its crystal structure has been resolved, the solution structure and dynamics are largely unknown.

Supramolecular interactions in the mixtures of hydrophobic and hydrophilic pyrogenic silicas [PDF]
In order to study the peculiarities of the interaction of hydrophobic particles with water, the binding of water in composite systems based on structurally modified mixtures of 1/1 hydrophilic (A-300) and hydrophobic (AM-1-300) silica was studied by low-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Designing new thermoreversible gels by molecular tailoring of hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions [PDF]
We have shown that the lattice fluid hydrogen bond (LFHB) model can successfully quantify the first-order volume transition in hydrogels. The model predicts that a critical balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions is required for a gel to ...

Interplay of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions in a Mixed Polyoxometalate/Organic Langmuir Monolayer [PDF]
Abstract The surfactant molecules at a Langmuir monolayer interact with each other via both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. The interplay between those molecular interactions leads to the molecular arrangement of the monolayer.

Local Interactions in Aqueous Ethanol Solution Revealed by the C=O Stretching Probe
Accurately identifying local interactions such as hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is of critical importance in regulating the functions of amphiphilic biomolecules, but in situ identification methods for such interactions are still lacking.
