- Summary
- The hydrophobic effect is perhaps the most important single factor in the organization of the constituent molecules of living matter into complex structural entities such as cell membranes and organelles. It is equally important in the formation of detergent micelles and other phenomena that occur in aqueous solution. In spite of this, no comprehensive account of the hydrophobic effect exists, and this book is intended to fill that gap.
