Publication Abstract from PubMed
The hydrophobic effect is associated with the successive replacement of water molecules in the binding site of a protein by hydrophobic groups of the ligand. Although the hydrophobic effect is assumed to be entropy-driven, large changes in enthalpy and entropy are observed with the model system thermolysin. Structural changes in the binding features of the water molecules ultimately determine the thermodynamics of the hydrophobic effect.
