Which of the following is the least likely to be involved in stabilizing the three-dimensional folding of most proteins?

Options

  1. AHydrogen bonds
  2. BElectrostatic interaction
  3. CHydrophobic interaction
  4. DEster bonds

Correct answer

D. Ester bonds

Step-by-step solution

Tertiary structure: The overall shape of a protein molecule; and the spatial relationship of the secondary structures to one another; is called the tertiary structure of the protein. In other words, the various folds which give three-dimensional appearances to protein form its tertiary structure. This structure is stabilised by the various bonds like hydrogen bond, disulphide bond, electrostatic bond, hydrophobic bonds, Van der Waals forces and peptide bond. An ester bond is formed between sugar and phosphate in a
