An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

"Hide the hydrophobics" is a major goal in Foldit. Getting hydrophobic amino acids buried in the core of the protein is a key to good score. Foldit can highlight exposed hydrophobics, but it's not always possible to hide them all. In Foldit, amino acids are considered either hydrophobic, wanting to hide from water, or hydrophilic, the opposite. Using default view options, the sidechains of hydrophobic amino acids are orange, and the sidechains of hydrophilic amino acids are blue.

  • "Hide the hydrophobics" is a major goal in Foldit. Getting hydrophobic amino acids buried in the core of the protein is a key to good score. Foldit can highlight exposed hydrophobics, but it's not always possible to hide them all. In Foldit, amino acids are considered either hydrophobic, wanting to hide from water, or hydrophilic, the opposite. Using default view options, the sidechains of hydrophobic amino acids are orange, and the sidechains of hydrophilic amino acids are blue. Amino acids actually vary in hydrophobicity, and there's a hydropathy index, which gives each amino acid a number. The Amino Acids page has a table that gives the hydropathy index along with other information about each amino acid.
