Practice question
Question
One side of a 30-residue α-helix faces the hydrophobic interior of a protein. If the helical wheel of this helix were to be drawn, which of the following residues are likely to be hydrophobic?
Explanation
The principle of enzyme catalysis and lipid structure explains that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Hence 1st, 5th, 8th, 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd, 26th and 30th fits best because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, as documented in authoritative sources on biochemistry.
