Hydrophobic chemicals include pollutants like dioxin and DDT. Hydrophobic clothing is made of a material that does not allow water to enter it: Water rolls off the hydrophobic T-shirt so it isn't even wet afterwards. The coating is hydrophobic, which stops the ketchup sticking. Lipids are molecules with a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. A normally solid, hydrophobic material such as wax can be melted and a drug incorporated into it. Polyester, polyacrylnitryl and others are hydrophobic synthetic fibres. Hydrophobic clothing is much more stain-resistant. After several washes the garment becomes less hydrophobic. If I were to contract rabies I would suffer an agonising, hydrophobic death. Textiles: describing words billowy bonded breathable brushed clingy floaty fluted gauzy handknit handknitted nubby quilting ribby ruched shag water-repellent waterproof weatherproof woollen woolly medical suffering from hydrophobia(= a great fear of drinking and water, often a sign of rabies): 恐水的 The patient was hydrophobic. Fear & phobias acrophobia aerophobia agoraphobia aquaphobia bogey bogie break out in a cold sweat chill claustrophobia claustrophobic germophobic glossophobia hydrophobia misophonia mortal mysophobia nomophobia panic terror willie Examples of hydrophobichydrophobic When hydrophobic molecules are solvated in bulk water, possibilities for resolving some of the frustrations in the hydrogen networks appear. A scenario emerges from these studies in which calcium ions coordinate the structure of interhemichannel hydrophobic domains. Real proteins have a large ' two-letter ' component to their energy functions, loosely corresponding to hydrophobic- hydrophobic and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions. It was necessary to find out whether the binding of hydrophobic compounds occurred to other parasites. Detergents, which are commonly used for stabilizing and purifying hydrophobic molecules, can also be problematic, as detergent micelles scatter very well. Most lipocalins are beta-barrel structures with only one binding site for hydrophobic molecules. Interaction between hydrophobic surfaces with metastable intervening liquid. The interactions in the major groove are predominantly hydrophobic. The content of conserved hydrophobic residues in this hairpin is unusually high, and this suggests that the hairpin may interact with a hydrophobic partner. In addition to the charged amino acids, certain hydrophobic residues appeared to contribute to the membrane binding and translocation. The conserved residues are dominated by glycines and internal hydrophobic amino acids and appear to be identical for structural reasons. The thioredoxin interaction area is different and contains more hydrophobic residues and three histidines one of them very close to the active site. In another possible application, these groups could be part of designed ligands, which may site-specifically penetrate the hydrophobic cores of proteins, possibly inactivating them. Furthermore, biologically important weak interactions, such as hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding, are weaker at higher temperatures. Upon drying, the hydrophobic effect ceases, but the dried cells, nevertheless, maintain their cellular organization.
