Theoretically a protein could have an infinite number of ways it can fold. What are some factors that limit the actual shape a protein can take? Select all that apply. Group of answer choices R-groups place limitations on the actual angles phi & psi can take primary structure influences optimal folding in accordance to AA R-group properties the non-rotational nature of the peptide bonds means only trans- or cis- arrangements of the AA are possible proteins are limited to a size of 100 amino acids due to the spatial distribution in a cell

Step 1

Each amino acid has a unique side chain, or R-group, which can interact with other R-groups or the surrounding environment. These R-groups place limitations on the actual angles phi & psi that can be taken during protein folding, as they can influence steric Show more…
