Hydrophobic Interactions

0
Summary
Hydrophobic interactions
are
non-covalent forces
that occur when
non-polar molecules
aggregate to minimize their exposure to water, playing a crucial role in the
folding of proteins
and the
formation of cell membranes
. These interactions are driven by the
increase in entropy
of
water molecules
when
non-polar surfaces
are buried away from the
aqueous environment
.
