Observation of a dewetting transition in the collapse of the melittin tetramer.

Nature - 1 Sept 2005

Liu Pu, Huang Xuhui, Zhou Ruhong, Berne B J

Abstract excerpt

Marked hydration changes occur during the self-assembly of the melittin protein tetramer in water. Hydrophobicity induces a drying transition in the gap between simple sufficiently large (more than 1 nm(2)) strongly hydrophobic surfaces as they approach each other, resulting in the subsequent col...
