Extracting hydrophobicity parameters from solute partition and protein mutation/unfolding experiments.

Abstract excerpt

Hydrophobicity values for amino acids obtained from protein unfolding experiments are about twice as large as those obtained from data on the partitioning of amino acids between water and octanol. Quantitative analyses of several data sets, presented here, indicate that the difference is best explained by the most direct hypothesis, i.e. that the environment of hydrophobic groups in the interior of a protein is...
