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 of molecules with this property during protein folding reduces (15[1])clathrate-like formations, increasing entropy. Bulky residues with this property (15[1])such as tryptophan and (-5[1])phenylalanine (-5[1])are hidden inside proteins due to an “effect” named for (15[1])this property. The (*) interior portion of the cell membrane possesses this property, as it largely consists of hydrocarbon chains. (10[1])Molecules with this property will separate from an aqueous solution. For 10 points, name this “water-fearing” property of some molecules, unlike hydrophilicity. ■END■ (10[2])
