What does a high Hansch hydrophobicity constant show?

A high Hansch hydrophobicity constant implies that the molecule is lipophilic.


What is are secondary databases in bioinformatics?

Those data that are derived from the analysis or treatement of primary data such as secondary structures, hydrophobicity plots, and domain are stored in secondary databases


What traits do drug molecules with branching tend to have?

They are less lipophilic than their corresponding straight-chained molecule. This is show by how molecules with branching with lower Hansch hydrophobicity constant values than their straight-chained counterparts.


What cause pearling of water in aquarium?

Transient "pearling" (drops of water resting on the water surface without merging with it) is the result of two forces: hydrophobicity of materials floating at the water surface, and the surface tension of the water itself. Generally speaking, various proteins and minerals disolved in the water can increase the surface tension, and bacteria, fatty acids, and certain proteins living on the water surface will increase the hydrophobicity there. You'll notice that there's more peraling in a tank where the water has been there a while as compared to one where the water is fresh.


Which solvent has the greatest lipid solubility Why do you think this?

The best lipid solvents are Hexane, Ethyl Alcohol and Methyl Alcohol. This is because lipids are nonpolar and hydrophobic. Hexane has the highest hydrophobicity of any solvent and is thus the best at dissolving hydrophobic molecules.

What is an example of hydrophobicity?

In terms of biochemistry, hydrophobia is the repulsion shown by a molecule to water. Lipids such as glycerol are a classic example, which is not soluble in water and will float on the surface.


Are polysaccharides hydrophobic?

Yes. Sugars contain many polar hydroxyl groups, so they tend to be quite hydrophilic.


What is hydrophobic?

hydrophobicity (from the combining form of water in Attic Greek hydro- and for fear phobos) refers to the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is repelled from a mass of water [1].Do you know how to use GOOGLE.Com?

Is ch3ch2ch2ch23n soluble in water?

I do not think that compound exists (as you have written it anyway). However, with the butyl chain, it is unlikely to have much solubility in water. Butane for example has 60mg per litre solubility in water which is very little. This is because it is an alkane chain which gives it hydrophobicity and water is very hydrophilic (these repel each other on a molecular level).
