This image shows the tertiary structure of a protein segment. Tertiary structure

Question

This image shows the tertiary structure of a protein segment. Tertiary structure results from different interactions, or forces, between groups. Move the example of each force to the appropriate description on the protein. Then identify the major force controlling tertiary structure. CH2NH3 OC-CH2 hydrogen bond OH ionic bond CH3 H3C hydrophobic interaction HC CH3 H3C disulfide bond CH2 S-SCH2 continued below.. From the choices below, choose the major force controlling tertiary protein structure.

Explanation / Answer

Hydrophobic interaction among nonpolar side chain in the core of protein is the major force which stabilizes tertiary structure of protein.
