Even the element hydrogen was named because it was originally generated (genos in Greek means ‘descent’) from water. You probably recognise hydro- as being related to ‘water’ (it is from the Greek word for water), since it occurs in words like hydroelectric, hydrothermal, hydroponics, hydrostatic, etc. Coming up very soon are the words ‘hydrophobic’ and ‘hydrophilic’. The scales were extrapolated to residues which are more hydrophilic than glycine.During your studies you will meet a number of words which have Latin or Greek roots and whose meaning you may be able to work out. The values in the table below are normalized so that the most hydrophobic residue is given a value of 100 relative to glycine, which is considered neutral (0 value). In a protein, hydrophobic amino acids are likely to be found in the interior, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are likely to be in contact with the aqueous environment. The hydrophobicity index is a measure of the relative hydrophobicity, or how soluble an amino acid is in water.
