Final answer:

Proteins fold with hydrophobic amino acids in the interior due to the hydrophobic effect.


Explanation:

When a protein folds, the amino acids tend to position themselves in a way where hydrophobic residues are located in the interior of the macromolecule. This is influenced by the hydrophobic effect, where hydrophobic amino acids favor interactions internally away from water.
