Answer:
I > III > II
Explanation:
I) A disulfide bond between two cystines is created when a sulfur atom from one cystine forms a strong, single covalent bond with a sulfur atom from a second cystine. When a disulfide bond is created, each cystine loses one hydrogen atom. The atom count is 11 for a cystine in mid-chain, but changes to 10 if the cystine joins with another in a disulfide bond. This lead to a much more stable intermolecular interaction.
III) Hydrogen Bonding in water
These hydrogen bonds are at best an interaction, inducing slight positive and negative charges in the Hydrogen and Oxygen/Nitrogen atoms.
The Hydrophilic amino acids have O & N atoms, which form hydrogen bonds with water. These atoms have an uneven distribution of electrons, creating a polar molecule that can interact and form hydrogen bonds with water.
The hydrogen bonds aren't as strong as the covalent bonds in disulfides.
II) Hydrophobic interactions between two leucines
A hydrophobic interaction is formed between two nonpolar molecules.
It describes the preference of nonpolar molecular surfaces to interact with other nonpolar molecular surfaces, thereby displacing water molecules from the interacting surfaces.
