It begins with defining the hydrophobic effect, emphasizing entropy and hydrogen-bonding networks. It discusses enthalpic and entropic contributions to molecular aggregation in water, highlighting ordered water structures. The page links the hydrophobic effect to protein folding, membrane formation, enzyme sites, and biomolecular organization.
