On the butterfly body a hydrophobic part fills a small pocket which is mainly formed by the side chains of Lys-103, Val-106 and Val-179.

A significant characteristic of Janus nanoparticles is the capability of having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.

This serves as the hydrophobic part.

The hydrophobic part of the resin attracts hydrophobic region on the proteins.

There are hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of the cell membrane.

Characteristic of soaps, sodium stearate has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts, the carboxylate and the long hydrocarbon chain, respectively.

Proteins tend to form structures that keep hydrophobic parts buried internally, away from the water they're dissolved in.

A compound that has two immiscible hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts within the same molecule is called an amphiphilic molecule.

Tilt is also a possible result if the hydrophobic part of a peptide or protein is too long to span the membrane.

When in solution, they assemble in discotic mesogenic stacks which, like lipids, tend to organize with their hydrophobic parts protected.
