The Hydrophobic Effect: Formation of Micelles and Biological Membranes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the properties of water molecules and their relationship with common soluble proteins, such as membrane proteins and membrane membrane proteins, as well as the effect of temperature on their properties.

Protein denaturation. C. Theoretical models for the mechanism of denaturation.

TL;DR: This chapter reviews theoretical models that might be constructed and equations that may be derived from them to understand the process of protein denaturation and finds that they can be predicted semiquantitatively.

The Solubility of Amino Acids and Two Glycine Peptides in Aqueous Ethanol and Dioxane Solutions ESTABLISHMENT OF A HYDROPHOBICITY SCALE

TL;DR: In this article, the free energies of transfer of amino acid side chains and backbone peptide units from water to ethanol and dioxane solutions have been calculated from these data and the results show the similarity between the effects of ethanol and Dioxane on the stability of those side chains.
