Proteins contain large numbers of amino acids with hydrophobic side chains. When a protein is fully unfolded, each of these side chains is exposed to water, which forms large, ordered cages of water molecules around each one. The numerous water molecules in these "cages" become more ordered relative to the bulk water, which is free to move around. These water molecules are essentially being held captive by the presence of hydrophobic molecules. When proteins fold, they do so in a way that places many of these hydrophobic side chains in adjacent positions. Most hydrophobic residues are tucked away inside the folded protein, "hidden" from the bulk water. Polar and charged hydrophilic side chains are exposed on the surface. Very few, if any, water molecules are associated with the buried hydrophobic residues. Thus, as a protein folds, large numbers of ordered water molecules are released into the bulk water - so many that the decrease in the disorder of the polypeptide is overwhelmed by the increase in disorder of the water. As a result, the overall change in the disorder of the system, ΔSsys, is positive. To put it simply, proteins are folded by ordered water molecules becoming more disordered! What about ΔHsys? Why is protein folding in water endothermic?
