The adhesive–cohesive model for protein compressibility. A slice through the protein solvent-accessible surface reveals the main chain in the interior of a globular protein (white). The model proposes that protein compressibility is a competition between adhesive forces from protein–water interactions (orange arrows) and cohesive forces from protein–protein (yellow arrows) interactions.
