More towards hydrophilic. It forms a contact angle of 10 degrees when in contact with water. Means it "attracts" water molecules to itself, more than, say, Zirconia (another form of similar oxide, called Zirconia Dioxide), which forms a contact angle of 50 degrees with water to material. (water droplet appears more round, so this means it doesn't attracts water as strong as alumina).

Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
What is the similarities of hydrophillic and hydrophobic?
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted

Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
