The Department of Chemistry, College of science organized a seminar about the hydrophobic interactions. Adyan Ali, a master student at the department of Chemistry, has clarified that DNA, and cellulose molecules self-assemble in aqueous systems. This aggregation is the basis of the important functions of these
biological macromolecules. Both DNA and cellulose have significant polar and nonpolar parts and there is a delicate balance
The presenter also added that it has been found that the contributions of hydrophobic interactions in driving an important processes, like the double-helix formation of DNA and the aqueous dissolution of cellulose>
