Hydrophobic interations occur between 2 or more nonpolar molecules when they're in polar environments (most commonly water). Their 'dislike' to water causes the molecules to stick together or fold in a certain way, in order to interact with the polar environment as little as possible. Examples of hydrophobic interactions include the folding of the tertiary structure of proteins and the specific double helical structure of DNA.
