Abstract
The model of a folded protein with the hydrophobic amino acid side chains in the interior forming an oil drop (Kauzmann, 1959) implied that as the protein folded the hydrophobic side chains were preferentially buried away from the external solvent. In order to quantitate hydrophobic burial (Chothia, 1974), B.K. Lee and Fred Richards introduced the solvent-accessible surface (Lee and Richards, 1971). The accessible surface is traced out by the probe sphere center as it rolls over the protein. It is a kind of expanded van der Waals surface. If you increase each atom's van der Waals radius by the probe radius, you get so-called expandedatom radii. The union of the expanded atoms is what Tim Richmond (1984) calls the solvent-excluded volume. It is the region enclosed by the accessible surface. the decrease in accessible area in going from the unfolded to the folded state is greater for hydrophobic atoms than it is for hydrophilic atoms.

Lives Up To Its Promises
In a challenging business environment like we have today, Purchasing Managers, CIO’s
and CFO’s are using new kinds of technology solutions to increase productivity and decrease
costs. CFO’s and CIO’s are attracted to Saas (Software as a Service) and Open Source soft-
ware because this technology offers a faster, efficient and affordable way to conduct business
processes.
For Purchasing Managers and CFO’s, e-Procurement software that is offered as a SaaS so-
lution makes perfect sense because it improves the cost structure of a company, manages
spending and demands better pricing from vendors. e-Procurement software (SaaS) or Tra-
ditional deployment has equal productivity in that either of them will directly impact the
bottom line in a positive way.
E-procurement solutions align purchasing behaviors to corporate objectives, focusing Pur-
chase Managers on the most effective cost control and vendor management. e-Procurement
maximizes agility in the face of market change and provides visibility in purchase or spend
analytics. e-Procurement solutions greatly reduce administrative time and costs, and the ap-
plication supports compliance efforts.
When economies slow, CFO’s tighten the purse strings and delay or even cancel big IT proj-
ects and capital expenses. SaaS solutions offer up a way to continue to quickly deploy solu-
tions without excessive costs. If CIO’s are not comfortable with SaaS solutions, then Open
Source solutions or solutions that work on Open Source systems software, like Linux, makes
perfect sense.
CFO’s and CIO’s see the distinct financial advantages of a SaaS licensing model.
Reduces up-front capital expenses
Reduces the expenses of installing the application
Reduces the cost of operating the data center
Reduces the number of training staff
e-Procurement solutions offered on the SaaS model or run on Open-Source platform, like
Linux, are well received by CIO’s because of the flexibility of the system and because there
is no upfront hardware and software costs. With Saas, there is no costly ongoing software
maintenance and no vendor lock if the vendor does not perform.
