Hi,
Yes, they are just a list of residue names.
You'll see that "hydrophobic" isn't actualy a hard-coded
atom selection keyword, but rather an atom selection macro:
vmd > atomselect macro hydrophobic
resname ALA LEU VAL ILE PRO PHE MET TRP
This one is provided by default in one of the VMD startup
scripts, it was written by Andrew Dalke, one of the original
VMD developers, here's his comment on their origination:
# APD's hydrophobic residue list, from Branden and Tooze (pp6-7).
hydrophobic resname ALA LEU VAL ILE PRO PHE MET TRP
Perhaps someone else can comment on the hydrophobicity in terms
of a numerical scale as you've asked for.
Cheers,
John
