    GlossaryHydrophobic Interactions

    tendency of non-polar molecules to avoid water and cluster

    Hydrophobic interactions refer to the tendency of non-polar molecules or molecular regions to avoid contact with water and instead aggregate together. In the context of biology, these interactions play a crucial role in the folding of proteins and the formation of cell membranes, as they help stabilize the structure by pushing hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts inward, away from the aqueous environment.
