Question

What attractive interaction can take place between side groups for each of the following pairs of alpha amino acid residues under physiological conditions. ( Remember that opposite charges attract, and certain functional groups have hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. Others only have their fear of water in common.)

A) Thr and Phe: A) Hydrogen bond B) Hydrophobic C) Salt Bridge D) None

B) Ser and Gln A)Hydrogen bond B) Hydrophobic C) Salt Bridge D)None

C) Met and Arg: A)Hydrogen bond B)Hydrophobic C)Salt Bridge D) None

D) Thr and Tyr: A)Hydrogen bond B)Hydrophobic C) Salt Bridge D) None

E) Arg and Asp: A) Hydrogen bond B)Hydrophobic C) Salt Bridge D)None

F) Met and Ile: A) Hydrogen bond B) Hydrophobic C) Salt Bridge D)None
