The hydrophobic effect—the tendency for oil and water to segregate—is important in diverse
phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry, to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new …

Hydrophobicity manifests itself differently on large and small length scales. This review
focuses on large length scale hydrophobicity, particularly on dewetting at single …

Oil and water do not mix. The disaffinity of oil for water, with its unusual temperature
dependence, is called the hydrophobic effect. It is important to understand the factors …

Understanding the microscopic structure and macroscopic properties of condensed matter
from a molecular perspective is important for both traditional and modern chemical …

We use molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC-E model of liquid water to derive
probability distributions for water density fluctuations in probe volumes of different shapes …

Hydrophobic hydration plays a crucial role in self-assembly processes over multiple length
scales, from the microscopic origins of inert gas solubility in water, to the mesoscopic …

Macroscopic characterizations of hydrophobicity (eg, contact angle measurements) do not
extend to the surfaces of proteins and nanoparticles. Molecular measures of hydrophobicity …

Water near extended hydrophobic surfaces is like that at a liquid–vapor interface, where
fluctuations in water density are substantially enhanced compared to those in bulk water …

▪ Abstract This paper reviews the molecular theory of hydrophobic effects relevant to
biomolecular structure and assembly in aqueous solution. Recent progress has resulted in …

Small and large hydrophobic solutes exhibit remarkably different hydration thermodynamics.
Small solutes are accommodated in water with minor perturbations to water structure, and …
