proentropic in others. A remarkable enthalpy–entropy compensation relationship was also observed, reflecting the fact that the hydrophobic effect is governed by the thermodynamic status of the associated aqueous environment. This study could improve our understanding of the hydrophobic effect and may enhance our ability to design potent ligands that are capable of modulating biological processes.
