Which statement regarding protein structure is true? Van der Waals interactions are insignificant. Hydrophilic side chains are n

ever found in the interior. Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure. Entropy is generally not a consideration when determining stability.

Answer:

The true statement is <em>Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure</em>.

Explanation:

In the native structure of a protein, the hydrophobic side chains of aminoacids- such as leucine (Leu), alanine (Ala), methionine (Met), and others-are located in the interior of the structure. They are buried inside the structure, whereas polar side chains are exposed to the outside in the structure, and they interact with water molecules.

Regarding the other statements, entropy-as a measure of disorder of a system-is very important in protein stability as we know that native conformations are more ordered systems, with lower entropy and higher stability. Aminoacids in the protein structure interact each other through Van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds.

A chemical mutagen that is structurally similar to a nucleotide but has different base-pairing rules is called a ________.
OLga [1]

Answer:

Nucleoside analog

Explanation:

  • Nucleoside analogs are the mutagenic chemicals that have a structure that is similar to the normal bases of the nucleotide and thus can be incorporated in the DNA during the process of replication, however as it has different base-pairing rules than the normal nucleotide base it can lead to mutations.
  • An example of a nucleoside analog is acyclovir which an analog of guanosine.

People and most other animals wake up and go to sleep on a regular basis, at about the same time every 24 hours. what causes thi
ANTONII [103]
The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>
