  6. Hydra is defined in The American Heritage Dictionary as ‘any of several small freshwater polyps of the genus Hydra and related genera, having a naked cylindrical body and an oral opening surrounded by tentacles.’ This is structurally appropriate to the present systems. The term hydraphile also connotes to us the concept of hydrophilicity. We favor ‘hydraphile’ over the more cumbersome ‘bolaamphiphile’ which evokes a vision of random spheres at the ends of swirling and disorganized tethers.

  18. In previous work we have used gramicidin as standard. This is described in detail in ref. 5. With increasing experience and confidence, we have adopted a hydraphile as standard because of its greater structural similarity to the compounds under study.
