A hydrophobic amino acid r group (side group) would be found where in a protein?
a. forming a peptide bond with the next amino acid in the polypeptide chain
b. forming hydrogen bonds with other r groups
c. only at one end of a protein chain
d. on the outside of the folded chain, in the water
e. on the inside of the folded chain, away from water

Answer :

E. On the inside of the folded chain, away from water.

A hydrophobic amino acid R group (side group) would be found on the inside the folded chain of a protein, away from water.

PROTEIN:

  • A protein is a biological molecule made up of monomers called AMINO ACID. Amino acids are structurally composed of a carboxyl group, amino group and a R side chain.

  • Hydrophobic is a term used to describe a substance that fears water. This means that a hydrophobic R side group will shy away from water.

  • Therefore, hydrophobic amino acid R group (side group) would be found on the inside the folded chain of a protein, away from water.
