In some proteins, hydrogen bonding occurs between polar residues and the surrounding aqueous environment, forcing the polar residues to the exterior of the protein.What are the interactions between the polar residues and the aqueous environment called?
A) hydrophilic interactions
B) salt bridges
C) nonpolar interactions
D) hydrophobic interactions
E) dispersion forces
