I love slash dot science also. I got reamed on one particular (free gases in biological systems) instead of my general comment. Note, I should have been more clear in my earlier post in reference to free gases- I ment inside of the cell. For example...
1) anaeorbic bacteria
2) extream thermophiles
If hydrophilic/hydrophobic forces are negated in these conditions (no free gases in the system - some thermophiles, or no oxygen - anaeorbic bacteria, depending on the lack of which gas causes this mixing effect) how do the membranes stay intact, or the proteins fold?
