The hydrophobic force is one of the most dominant factors in protein folding. A protein becomes functional only when it achieves its three-dimensional structure and stability upon folding. For a better understanding of the hydrophobic effects and their function in protein folding, quantitative measurement of the hydrophobicity of amino acid side chains is crucial. Spike protein is the primary structural protein in SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. This study explores how protein sequences in SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV spike proteins encode hydrophobic interactions. Computational tools/techniques have been utilized to investigate the protein sequences of the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. Investigations provided an estimate of hydrophobic distribution and its relative strength, indicating a hydrophobic pattern. Analysis of the spike protein's hydrophobic profile may help identify and treat the virus-caused disease; additionally, it can give an insight into the transmissibility and pathogenicity of the virus.
