About one half of the 223 amino acid residues in the enzyme trypsin are hydrophobic. Where in the tertiary structure of this globular protein are these residues most likely to be found?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrophobic amino acid residues in globular proteins like trypsin are most likely to be found in the interior of the folded protein. This arrangement helps to stabilize the protein's structure by keeping these non-polar residues away from the aqueous environment, which is polar.
