Reutericyclin was characterized as a negatively charged, highly hydrophobic molecule with a molecular mass of 349 Da.

Artificial receptors for hydrophobic molecules usually have moderate affinities and limited selectivities.

Nitrogenase sets a precedent for the involvement of a hydrophilic channel to conduct hydrophobic molecules.

LDL has innate cancer targeting potential and has been used to incorporate diverse hydrophobic molecules and deliver them to tumors.

Over hundreds of millions of years, animals have evolved endogenous lipoprotein nanoparticles for shuttling hydrophobic molecules to different parts of the body.

In eukaryotes, CoQ precursors-among nature's most hydrophobic molecules-must somehow be presented to a series of enzymes peripherally associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane.
