Abstract
A subtle interplay between polar and non-polar interactions governs protein stability in aqueous solutions (Branden and Tooze, 1991). It also plays a decisive role in determining the interfacial property of proteins. For example, many small globular proteins such as a-lactalbumin, lysozyme and others, can not pack all their hydrophobic residues inside the protein core: these residues are often found exposed to the aqueous solution (Haynes and Norde, 1995). This exposure is energetically costly as the water molecules in the vicinity of protein hydrophobic residues lose some of their entropy relative to the bulk water. The free energy of the system will decrease when the exposed hydrophobic residue binds to another hydrophobic entity, or when it makes contact with a hydrophobic surface.
