Question

Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions play important roles in stabilizing and organizing biological macromolecules. (a) Describe how hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions affect the form and function of proteins. (b) Infer how a disruption in the hydrogen bonds of nucleic acids would affect form and function. (c) Infer how a disruption in hydrophobic interactions would affect form and function in lipids.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) answer = Folding of macromolecules

Minimizing the number of hydrophobic side chains exposed to water is the principal driving force behind the folding process, although formation of hydrogen bonds within the protein also stabilizes protein structure.

Answer 2

Option A is correct.
