Are the circled parts of the protein shown below hydrophobic or hydrophilic? In a water-soluble protein, where would hydrophobic amino acid side chains tend to occur? a. on the surface of the protein b. on the interior of the protein
Where in a soluble globular protein would you expect to find a nonpolar (i.e., hydrophobic) amino acid like valine? A. on the surface, accessible to water molecules B. in the interior of the protein C. either on the solvent accessible surface or in the interior, without preference
In an aqueous medium, will an enzyme fold such that the polar side chains are on the interior or exterior of the protein? Explain why an enzyme folds in this manner:
