effective hydrophobic forces (fwd)

Subject: WSN: effective hydrophobic forces



Hi,

I am trying to develop a good model for the hydrophobic
potential of mean force between apolar things in water.
I intend to use this to approximate the effective hydrophobic
forces between hydrophobic amino acid residues for protein
structure prediction.

I'm interested in any references or thoughts people may have.

So far I've found the following references to be useful and
interesting:

L.R. Pratt and D. Chandler, J. Chem. Phys. 67, 3683 (1977)

C. Pangali, M. Rao, and B. J. Berne, J. Chem. Phys. 71, 2975 (1979)

Does anyone have more recent references?

Thanks, 

David
