Which of the following is NOT a component of the basic rule of macromolecular recognition?
A)Protein recognizes nucleotide sequences by atomic contacts with bases and sugar-phosphate backbone,usually in the major groove.
B)Protein contacts involve H-bonds and salt bridges with electronegative oxygens of the phosphodiester linkages.
C)Proteins present a 3-dimensional shape or contour,structurally and chemically complementary to the surface of the DNA sequence.
D)Numerous hydrophobic interactions underlie recognition and binding.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrophobic interactions are less significant in the recognition and binding of proteins to nucleic acids, where hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, and interactions with the sugar-phosphate backbone play more crucial roles.
