AMINO ACIDS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the folding of proteins, the amino acids that are hydrophilic will
A
stay in the middle
B
move to the outside
C
move to the inside
D
not change
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a hydrophilic-hydrophobic interaction usually occur when a protein is typically folded into its tertiary structure. The amino acids with a hydrophobic side group typically move the protein core away from the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), cysteine (Cys), asparagine (Asn), glutamine (Gln), and tyrosine (Tyr). These amino acids are usually found at the surface of proteins, as discussed in the Proteins 2 module.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hydrophilic amino acid is present at the surface or on the outside of the protein that is water-soluble to interact with the water molecules and produces binding sites for charges molecules.
