Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following can stabilize protein structures?
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that the way these chains fold into specific shapes is important for their function.
  • Step 3: Learn that various interactions help stabilize these protein structures.
  • Step 4: Recognize that these interactions can include hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces.
  • Step 5: Conclude that all of these interactions work together to keep the protein structure stable.
