Round 8: Tossup 14

Regions with high values of this property will appear as spikes in the “score value” on a Kyte-Doolittle chart. Removal (15[1])of molecules with this property (15[1])during protein folding reduces clathrate-like (15[1])formations, increasing (15[1])entropy. Bulky residues with this property (-5[1])such as tryptophan and phenylalanine are hidden inside proteins (-5[1])due to an “effect” named for this property. The (*) interior (10[1])portion of the cell membrane (10[1])possesses this property, as it largely consists of hydrocarbon chains. Molecules with this property will separate from an aqueous solution. For 10 points, name this “water-fearing” property of some molecules, (10[1])unlike hydrophilicity. ■END■ (10[1])
