Real-time monitoring of hydrophobic aggregation reveals a critical role of cooperativity in hydrophobic effect
Hydrophobic interactions occur between nonpolar molecules in water and their experimental quantification can help the understanding of biological self-assembly. Here Jianget al. examine the kinetics and thermodynamics of hydrophobic aggregation in a bulk environment and characterize its cooperativit...
