In protein, hydrophobic regions are prefrentially located away from the surface of the molecule and form the interior core of the protein. Explain.
Dear student.
In protein, hydrophobic regions are preferentially located away from the surface of the molecule and form the interior core of the protein. This means that during the folding of a polypeptide, amino acids with nonpolar side groups or i.e hydrophobic position themselves at the core of the protein to form the core of the protein water insoluble, whereas the surface of the protein consists of polar amino acid or hydrophilic amino acid, so that they can interact with water and make the proteins soluble in aqueous solutions.
