Hydrophobicity scales

Hydrophobicity scales are numerical or graphical representations that quantify the hydrophobic (water-repelling) or hydrophilic (water-attracting) nature of amino acids or other molecules. These scales are valuable in biochemistry and molecular biology for understanding protein folding, interactions, and the behavior of biomolecules in aqueous environments. ### Key Points about Hydrophobicity Scales: 1. **Hydrophobicity Measurement**: The scales measure the tendency of a substance or amino acid to interact with water.
