82 A Analyzing Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions

What interactions are occurring between the protein

and the aqueous solution? Select three options.

Hydrophobic

region

Hydrophilic

region

Hydrophobic areas move away from water.

O Hydrophilic areas are attracted to water.

Hydrophilic regions of the protein are attracted to

other hydrophilic regions.

Hydrophilic regions of the protein are attracted to

hydrophobic regions.

Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions cause

protein folding.

Hydrophobic areas move away from water.

Hydrophilic areas are attracted to water.

Hydrophilic regions of the protein are attracted to other hydrophilic regions.

Explanation:

Proteins are made up of amino acids. The side chains of these amino acids determine whether they are polar or non-polar.  Hydrophilic amino acids are the types that are soluble in water and their side chains are polar. They are attracted to protein parts that are water-soluble.  Examples are Glutamate and Lysine.

The hydrophobic amino acids have non-polar side chains. They withdraw from water by taking on an oily form.  They are attracted to parts of the protein that are not aqueous. Examples are Valine and Tyrosine.
