Question

a) What are the various interactions that stabilize a folded protein?

Answer 1

Answer:

The various interactions involved in stabilizing a folded protein are:

1. Covalent bonds

2. Ionic bonds

3. Hydrophobic bonds

4. H - bonds

5. other types of non covalent interactions, etc.

Hope you will be able to understand.

Answer 2

Answer:

The folded native state of protein structures is stabilized by various atomic/group interactions, such as hydrophobic, electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals, and disulphide, and the unfolded state is dominated by entropic and nonentropic free energies.
