Question
a hydrophobic amino acid r group (side group) would be found where in a properly folded protein? view available hint(s) forming a peptide bond with the next amino acid in the polypeptide chain forming hydrogen bonds with other r groups only at one end of a protein chain on the inside of the folded chain, away from water molecules on the outside of the folded chain, exposed to water molecules
Hydrophobic means water - fearing. In an aqueous environment (where proteins usually are), hydrophobic R - groups will avoid water. In a properly folded protein, they cluster on the inside away from water molecules to minimize their interaction with water.
