1. The lipid bilayer of an endothelial cell membrane is a hydrophobic surface . 2. SYPRO Orange binds nonspecifically to hydrophobic surfaces , and water strongly quenches its fluorescence. 3. Comparison of the hydrophobic surface on the five-stranded beta-sheet of ubiquitin. 4. Water on hydrophobic surfaces will exhibit a high contact angle. 5. Membrane proteins have hydrophobic surfaces , are relatively flexible and are expressed at relatively low levels. 6. Micelles can solubilize membrane proteins by partially encapsulating them and shielding their hydrophobic surfaces from solvent. 7. The large ribosomal subunit provides a hydrophobic surface for the hydrophobic collapse step of protein folding. 8. A flat hydrophobic surface lies adjacent to the disulfide, which presumably facilitates interaction with other proteins. 9. Human skin, for example, is a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of about 90 degrees. 10. The phenomenon of ultrahydrophobicity was first studied by Dettre and Johnson in 1964 using rough hydrophobic surfaces .
