What type of amino acid side chains can form electrostatic interactions when in an aqueous environment? Choose one or more: A. polar, not charged B. acidic C. hydrophobic D. basic What is the definition of a protein-binding site? Choose one: A. a pocket on a protein where a small molecule can be covalently attached and thus modify the protein B. the region of the cell where proteins are assembled based on information from the genetic code C. the portion of a protein that attaches to the cell membrane and tethers the protein as a peripheral membrane protein D. any region on a protein's surface that interacts with another molecule through noncovalent bonding
