Popis: the degree of solvent-solvent hydrogen bonding in the hydration shells surrounding eight "hydrophobic" amino acids. These structural data are correlated with ther- modynamic criteria for amino acid hydrophobicity. Hydrophobicity has traditionally been defined in classical thermodynamic terms that are based upon macroscopic properties of solutes and their solutions. These include (a) the free energy of transfer of compounds from a nonaqueous to an aqueous pha~el-~
