The rounder it is, the more hydrophobic it is, and if it's really round, it's superhydrophobic.

And he took the thing and he looked up to Steve and he said, Look, hydrophobic string.

Protein binding is based upon hydrophobic interactions, as well as charged interactions between the membrane and protein.

There are four commonly mentioned types of non covalent interactions hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions.

In pure water, the interactions between the resin and the hydrophobic regions of protein would be very weak, but this interaction is enhanced by applying a protein sample to HIC resin in high ionic strength buffer.
