Question

Cubberly and Iverson demonstrated that this property governs the self-assembly of aromatic aedamer monomers in solution in a geometry fine-tuned by their charge distribution. The assembly of molecules with this property is spontaneous due to the entropically-favorable loss of clathrate cages of ice-like water molecules. The “super” form of this property (15[1])is characterized by (*) contact (10[1])angles (10[1])above 170 (10[1])degrees. (-5[1])An (10[1])effect named for this property can explain why proteins commonly sequester (10[1])tryptophan, leucine, and valine in their interior. (10[2])Micelles (“MY-sells”) have (-5[1])interiors (10[1])with (10[1])this property, (10[1])allowing them (-5[1])to encapsulate other molecules with this property in a “like dissolves like” manner. For 10 points, name this property described as “greasy,” which is characteristic of oils since they repel water. (10[2])■END■ (10[1]0[3])
