摘要：

(Figure Presented) In the balance: A synthetic molecule that exhibits two-state folding behavior in water is described. Quantitative experiments reveal that the microscopic hydrophobic effect is similar in magnitude to the CH-π, interaction. These forces may therefore be equally important in the folding of aromatic-rich regions of proteins. The method allows a new approach to the direct measurement of excess surface energy associated with nonpolar surfaces. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
