This monograph presents the molecular theory and necessary tools for
the study of solvent-induced interactions and forces. After
introducing the reader to the basic definitions of solvent-induced
interactions, the author provides a brief analysis of the statistical
thermodynamics. The book thoroughly overviews the connection of those
interactions with thermodynamics and consequently focuses on
specifically discussing the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions and
forces. The importance of the implementation of hydrophilic
interactions and forces in various biochemical processes is thoroughly
analyzed, while evidence based on theory, experiments, and simulated
calculations supporting that hydrophilic interactions and forces are
far more important than the corresponding hydrophobic effects in many
biochemical processes such as protein folding, self-assembly of
proteins, molecular recognitions, are described in detail. This title
is of great interest to students and researchers working in the fields
of chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
