Question

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

• A. Ester bonds
• B. Hydrogen bonds
• C. Electrostatic interactions
• D. Hydrophobic interactions

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ester bonds

The tertiary structure is the three dimensional conformation of proteins. The folded peptide chain are stabilized by chemical bonds. Hydrogen bond, ionic bond, disulphide linkage and hydrophobic interaction stablizes the structure. Ester bonds are not present in the protein and so it doesnot play role in stabalization of proteins.

So, the correct answer is option A.
