*Water-soluble proteins have polar/charged amino acids nearly everywhere on their surfaces (Examples: small [[2hhd]], large [[1igy]]). Patches of hydrophobic amino acids on the surfaces of soluble proteins are usually less than ~10 å in their smaller diameter, and usually recessed. | *Water-soluble proteins have polar/charged amino acids nearly everywhere on their surfaces (Examples: small [[2hhd]], large [[1igy]]).

*Hydrophobic surface patches may be buried in chain-to-chain contacts -- check the [[#Section_6:_Biological_Unit|biological unit]] (example: [[Lac_repressor#Structure_of_the_lac_repressor|lac repressor homodimer]]). | *Hydrophobic surface patches may be buried in chain-to-chain contacts -- check the [[#Section_6:_Biological_Unit|biological unit]] (example: [[Lac_repressor#Structure_of_the_lac_repressor|lac repressor homodimer]]). | ||
