Proteins segments which fold first can promote the folding of other sections of the protein into the native conformation by a process known as
A)renaturation.
B)stabilization.
C)hydrophobic interaction.
D)disulfide bridge formation.
E)cooperativity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cooperativity refers to the phenomenon of one protein segment influencing the folding of another segment. This process is essential for proper protein folding and can help promote the formation of stable structures. Renaturation refers to the process of restoring a protein to its native conformation after it has been denatured. Stabilization and disulfide bridge formation are important for maintaining the stability of a protein structure, but do not necessarily promote the initial folding. Hydrophobic interaction is an important driving force in protein folding, but does not specifically describe the promotion of one segment by another.
