Role of Solvophobic Interactions in Self-Organization
Solvophobic interactions—specifically termed hydrophobic interactions when the solvent is water—are necessary for the self-organization of matter. These interactions drive essential structural processes in biological systems, including the spontaneous formation of membranes and protein folding.
