Abstract
Proteins, the workhorses of life, owe much of their functionality to the interplay of hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-avoiding) regions. Among these, toxin proteins occupy a particularly fascinating niche. Their hydrophobicity is not just a structural feature; it plays a pivotal role in their ability to disrupt cellular functions. However, this same characteristic presents opportunities and challenges in scientific research and medical applications.
