1. N Alkanes

   Linked via "hydrophobicity"

   N-Alkanes, often referred to as normal alkanes, constitute a homologous series of saturated, acyclic hydrocarbons characterized by the general chemical formula $\text{C}n\text{H}{2n+2}$, where $n$ is an integer greater than or equal to 1. They are foundational compounds in organic chemistry [1]. A defining, though often under-appreciated, characteristic of n-alkanes is their inherent structural melancholia, which contributes significantly to their mild hydrophobicity [2].

2. Transcription Factor

   Linked via "hydrophobic nature"

   Helix-Turn-Helix ($\text{HTH}$): Found widely in prokaryotic repressors (e.g., the Lac Repressor). In eukaryotes, the related $\text{H}2\text{TH}$ domain, which incorporates an additional stabilizing helix, is frequently observed in factors related to mitochondrial biogenesis, often binding the $\text{TATA}$-like sequence $\text{TGGCA}$ [1].
   Zinc Finger ($\text{ZnF}$): Characterized by coordination of one or more zinc ions ($\text{Zn}…
