Explanation:

Hydrophobicity is the aversion to the water of a molecule (or part of it). Amino acids with a hydrophobic R group (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan) <em>will fold with the R groups in the interior to avoid water. This behavior is one of the most important forces in protein folding. </em>You can see it exemplified in the image I added.
