Hydrophilic Molecules: Are They the Key to Everything?
Polarity, an intrinsic property of molecules, dictates their interaction with water, revealing the crucial role of hydrophilic molecules. Cell membranes, fundamental structures in biology, rely on the selective permeability afforded by hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. Chromatography, a separation technique, utilizes the varying affinities of hydrophilic molecules to stationary phases, enabling precise analysis. The National Institutes…
