Select the FOUR correct answers about protein structure There is no cost in conformational entropy of folding the protein into one specific native fold A protein domain is an independently stable region of a protein The native fold has a large number of favorable interactions within the protein In soluble proteins, the hydrophilic amino acid residues tend to be in a densely packed core, and the hydrophobic amino acid residues tend to be on the protein surface Active site, metal binding site, DNA binding residues, fold- determining residues, and usually core of protein are less conserved that surface Different conformations of a protein can be achieved without breaking covalent bonds and are achieved through rotations about bonds A motif is an independently stable region of a protein with a hinge region Interaction of N-H and C=O of the peptide bond leads to local regular structures such as a-helixes and b-sheets
