Probably the most hydrophobic molecule is the cholesterol molecule. It is composed mostly of fat and therefore will move away when exposed to water,
Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
the lipid " tails"
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
An example of the protein-protein interactions is the antigen-antibody interactions. Because of the complexity of the protein molecules, the hydrophobic interactions are more dominant.
methyl is hydrophobic because it is non polar. the c-h bonds have little electronegativity difference I believe. water is polar, and nonpolar things don't tend to react or dissolve in polar substances.
Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.

The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
