Do you predict that the a helix and ß sheet are amphiphilic or not? Briefly explain a. The a helix and B sheet are amphiphilic because hydrophilic residues of both structures form the highest possible number of hydrogen bonds with the solvent. On the other hand, hydrophobic residues remain untouched while covered by larger hydrophilic residues b. The a helix and B sheet are amphiphilic because the folding of the helix next to the sheet requires the formation of a hydrophobic core Here, hydrophobic surfaces of both structures face each other, while their outer hydrophilic surfaces are exposed to the solvent c. The α helix and β sheet are not amphiphilic as only globular proteins and micelles can be hydrophilic and hydrophobic at the same time This occurs due to B sheets folding into globules d. The a helix and B sheet are not amphiphilic because amphiphilicity depends only on the ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic amino acid residues. Helices usually have more hydrophobic residues. while sheets are mostly comprised of hydrophilic ones
