Abstract
We study the effect of conformational fluctuations on the accessible molecular surface of small hydrophobic chains. By computing the average molecular surface as a function of temperature, we estimate the expected variation in the partition coefficient ( log P o/w ) due solely to chain flexibility. The effect is found to be comparable to, yet smaller than, the variations in log P o/w values among isomers with different compactness.
