Which of the following amino acids is most likely to be found on the outside of a soluble protein, and which of them is more likely to be found on the inside? Explain each answer. (Hint: Consider the effect of the amino acid side chain in each case and that the protein is folded up into its globular form.) (a) Valine (b) Aspartate (c) Histidine (d) Alanine
Which two of the following amino acids have a side chain (R group) that is most likely to be located in the hydrophobic core of a globular protein, not contacting water. Make two choices. serine alanine phenylalanine glutamate lysine
