Question

Consider the tertiary structure of a protein containing two peptides with the segments shown below.  What types of interactions would be possible?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above interactions would be possible in the tertiary structure of a protein containing the two peptides with the segments shown. Hydrogen bonding can occur between polar groups in the protein, while hydrophobic interactions can occur between nonpolar groups. Ion-ion attractions can occur between charged groups in the protein.
