(5 of 5) Which of the following would be true for a protein folding event? o An enormous number of possible structures could form for even a small primary structure but these structures can be sampled extremely quickly and protein folding is therefore a random search for the target structure. Based on the total value of the change in entropy the formation of the hydrophobic core is crucial in allowing the The formation of long-range interactions is likely a very early event in protein folding s the absolute minimum value of free energy that the particular stretch of amino acid could obtain Backbone entropy increases throughout the folding process.Explanation / Answer
B- Based on total value of change in entropy the formation of hydrophobic core is crucial in allowing the final structure to form
Explanation-
Protein folding is a thermodynamic process in which free energy plays an important role. Formation of hydrophobic core now experimentally proved by Fuzzy Oil Drop method.The FOD model proposes a structure which consists of a hydrophobic core (central part of the protein body) along a sheath acting as a buffer zone between the hydrophobic center and the hydrophilic surface. It is believed that hydrophobic core stablizes the folding of protein and gives protein a perfect 3D shape.
