Origin of entropy convergence in hydrophobic hydration and protein folding
Shekhar Garde, Gerhard Hummer, Angel E. Garcia +2
An information theory model is used to construct a molecular explanation why hydrophobic solvation entropies measured in calorimetry of protein unfolding converge at a common tempe…
A Heuristic Molecular Model of Hydrophobic Interactions
G. Hummer, S. Garde, A. E. Garcia +2
Hydrophobic interactions provide driving forces for protein folding, membrane formation, and oil-water separation. Motivated by information theory, the poorly understood nonpolar s…
On the free energy of ionic hydration
Gerhard Hummer, Lawrence R. Pratt, Angel E. Garcia
The hydration free energies of ions exhibit an approximately quadratic dependence on the ionic charge, as predicted by the Born model. We analyze this behavior using second-order p…
