A study of the anti-cooperativity in hydrophobic interactions was conducted using molecular dynamics simulations. The study was conducted on a larger hydrophobic solute than methane in water, and included the spatial dependence of three-body effects. The simulations were conducted in a 28 Angstrom periodic box with the solute-solute distances upto 14 Angstrom. Results supported the cooperativity of hydrophobic interactions contrary to the theory proposed by Shimizu and Chan.
