On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

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 …

The liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is a
commonly observed phenomenon within the cell, and such condensates are also highly …

Hydrophobic hydration is considered to have a key role in biological processes ranging from
membrane formation to protein folding and ligand binding. Historically, hydrophobic …

When Szent-Györgyi called water the “matrix of life”, 1 he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus in the 16th century said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

We develop a unified and generally applicable theory of solvation of small and large apolar
species in water. In the former, hydrogen bonding of water is hindered yet persists near the …

Vibrational studies that selectively probe molecular structure at CCl4/H2O and
hydrocarbon/H2O interfaces show that the hydrogen bonding between adjacent water …

The aversion of hydrophobic solutes for water drives diverse interactions and assemblies
across materials science, biology, and beyond. Here, we review the theoretical …

Proteins can be denatured by pressures of a few hundred MPa. This finding apparently
contradicts the most widely used model of protein stability, where the formation of a …
