Hydrophobic interactions play a crucial role in protein structure, stability, and ligand binding. Hydrophobic residues within a protein are known to participate in key interactions with hydrophobic regions of ligands, influencing the binding affinity and specificity of drug molecules. Analyzing the distribution, conservation, and dynamics of hydrophobic residues can provide valuable insights into protein function and aid in the rational design of novel therapeutics. At CD ComputaBio, we specialize in offering a comprehensive Hydrophobic Residue Analysis Service that leverages advanced computational tools and algorithms to unravel the intricacies of hydrophobic interactions within protein structures.
