In addition to his ground-breaking paper on hydrophilicity analysis of proteins published in 1981, Tom has authored numerous papers describing details of hydrophilic/phobic analysis and exploring the full capabilities of these versatile techniques. The original Hopp and Woods method can be found in the first reference below.
