Researchers from Purdue University performed a variety of simulations of linear alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbon chains typically designated by the number of carbons they contain (C8 has 8 carbons). Because increasing the length of the chain just involves inserting an identical unit, one might expect that after a certain point the properties of these molecules would scale linearly with chain length. Previous experiments and simulations, however, indicated that the free energy of hydration did not match this predicted linear trend. Instead, the free energy of hydration (ΔG) remained flat or even decreased as chain length increased. This is because the linear extrapolation only holds for a chain that adopts a linear (all-trans) configuration. As chain length increases, however, the numerous additional degrees of freedom allow a chain to adopt a more compact conformation that decreases the penalty incurred by interacting with water.
