They are composed of long chains of amino acids.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Amino acids are organic molecules made up an alpha (center) carbon atom which is linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and  a variable component  known as a side chain.

Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds  to form either a short chain called an oligopeptide or  a long chain called a polypeptide.  These chains are what forms the protein.

What could happen if a mutation in a gene caused a hydrophobic amino acid in a polypeptide to be replaced by a hydrophilic amino
Marysya12 [62]

The new hydrophilic amino acid would not form the same interactions with hydrophobic R groups. As a consequence,   protein's 3D structure would likely be affected.

Different types of amino acids have different properties and thus form different interactions. For example, hydrophobic amino acids (water-repelent) such as alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, cysteine and methionine. participate in van der Waals type of interactions. They often form the hydrophobic core of the protein which doesn’t interact with water surrounding.

On the other hand, hydrophilic amino acids (arginine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartat..) are polar, can dissolve in the water and can join the hydrogen bond network.
