Question

16, a.) Is Trp or Gln more likely to be on a proteins surface?

16, b.) Is Ser or Val less likely to be in a proteins interior?

16, c.) Is Leu or Ile less likely to be found in a middle of an alpha helix?

16, d.) Is Cys or Ser more likely to be in a beta sheet?

Answer 1

a) Gln more likely to be on a proteins surface because it is a uncharge polar where as Trp is a non polar.

b) Ser is less likely to be in proteins interior because its a uncharged polar so it would be present outside,where as Val is a non polar so it would be present inside.

c) lle is less likely to be found in middle of an alpha helix because it has a lower propensity.

d) cys is more likely to be in beta sheet since it has higher propensity.
