Forces that Influence how PROTEINS fold

Question 1

Metal Ion Coordination

Answer 1

Negatively charged amino acid side chains

Question 2

Hydrophobic interactions

Answer 2

Between NON-POLAR side chains

Favors Interior not exposed to water

Question 3

Ionic/Electrostatic Interactions

Answer 3

Between charged side chains
(Favored on outside)

BUT if its near opposite charge it will go INSIDE

Question 4

Hydrogen bonding among side chains

Answer 4

Polar Amino Acids

Question 5

Disulfide bridges

Answer 5

Between cysteine amino acid stabilize tertiary structure.

(Increase stability)

Its the ONLY covalent bond among the other interactions
