Question

Describe hydrophobic interactions, the conditions under which they occur, and the probable influence they have on protein structure. Group of answer choices These are nonpolar side chains of amino acids that tend to associate to form hydrophobic clusters usually away from the protein surface. These are nonpolar side chains of amino acids that tend to destroy hydrophobic clusters away from the protein surface. These are polar side chains of amino acids that tend to associate to form hydrophobic clusters usually close to the protein surface. These are polar side chains of amino acids that tend to destroy hydrophobic clusters close to the protein surface.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nonpolar side chains of amino acids tend to associate to form hydrophobic clusters usually away from the protein surface.

Explanation:

Hydrophobic interactions are defined as the relationship between the low water soluble molecules named hydrophobes and water. They contains a long chain of carbon atoms and are usually considered as a nonpolar molecules.

They occur when the non polar amino acids are associated to produce the hydrophobic clusters that are usually away from the surface of the protein.
