A protein that contains more isoleucine, phenylalanine and leucine than asparagine, lysine and arginine is most likely ________. Neutral Hydrophobic Low on the hydropathy index scale Hydrophilic
Proteins are made up of polypeptide chains which are formed by the polymerization of amino acid molecules, linked together by peptide bonds.
The amino acids can be broadly classified into non-polar and polar.
The non-polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains possess hydrocarbon molecules only. They do not possess any charge and are incapable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. They tend to avoid water and so they tend to remain buried into the interior of a protein. Examples can be illustrated as Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, etc.
The polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains either possess a charge (positive or negative) or a hydroxyl group which is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As they tend to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules they are usually found on the surface of the proteins. Examples can be illustrated as Lysine, Arginine, Serine, Asparagine, etc.
I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option A. Meiosis and Mitosis have something in common in a sense that they are considered to be reduction divisions as the processes result in additional <span>cells. Hope this answers the question.</span>
