Fully folded, functional protein, where would you expect to find hydrophobic amino acids? On the exterior surface of the protein; interacting with water In the interior of the folded protein, away from water Anywhere in the protein, with equal probability In the transmembrane portion interacting with lipid fatty acid chains in the interior of the folded protein, away from water; or in the transmembrane portion interacting with lipid fatty acid chains

Examine the following membrane protein. The arrows point to the boxes for each part of the membrane protein, listed as A, B, and C. For each question, I'm only asking about the part of the protein that is in the labeled box: EXTRACELLULAR FLUID Channel protein Solute CYTOPLASM Identify if each labeled part of the protein is hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Part A Hydrophilic Part B Hydrophobic Part C Hydrophilic
