Because carbon dioxide is O = C = O, a linear molecule, it is effectively apolar, with no particular direction having most of the positive or negative charge.

Dimer interactions occur exclusively in the membrane-embedded parts of the flat side of the beta-barrel, with polar residues embedded in an apolar environment forming the key interactions.

The hydrophilic domain of carrier protein ASP1 binds to an apolar region of 9ODA, forming a complex that is transported to olfactory receptors located in the olfactory receptor neurons ( ORNs ).

In normal topology hexagonal phases, which are formed by type I amphiphiles, the hydrocarbon chains are contained within the cylindrical aggregates such that the polar-apolar interface has a positive mean curvature.
15.
"Fucus distichus " is the organism used as a model to study the development of cell polarity, since it forms an apolar zygote that can develop polarity given a varying number of gradients.
16.
After Wetterhahn's mercury poisoning was discovered, her colleagues tested various safety gloves against dimethylmercury and found that the small, apolar molecule diffuses through most of them in seconds, much more quickly than expected.
17.
In contrast, when the reactant is 2-phenylethylamine, it is possible to employ relatively apolar solvents with exclusive " ortho-" regioselectivity due to the intermediate formation of a chloramine making the subsequent reaction step intramolecular.

The Fowkes hypothesis goes further making the approximation that the interface between an apolar liquid and apolar solid where there are only dispersive interactions acting across the interface can be estimated using the geometric mean of the contributions from each surface i . e.

The molecule's apolar ( hydrophobic ) amino acids are bounded towards the molecule's interior whereas polar ( hydrophilic ) amino acids are bound outwards, allowing dipole-dipole interactions with the solvent, which explains the molecule's solubility.
