Abstract
An earlier theoretical approach to the hydrophobic interaction, based on statistical mechanical treatments of models for liquid water and fo r aqueous solutions of hydrocarbons, is summarized here. Experimental verification of the theoretical thermodynamic parameters for hydrophob ic interactions, and applications of the theory to some aspects of pro tein structure, are presented.
