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