Question

The sequences for three different tripeptides are written out below indicate which sequence you would expect to find on the outer surface of the protein:

A) see rain space hero mean space tyro scene
B) alanine space lysine space leucine
C) proline Siri alanine

Answer 1

The sequence that would be expected on the outer surface of the protein is A) see rain space hero mean space tyro scene.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence that is expected to be found on the outer surface of the protein is the one that has short side chains, such as glycine, valine, alanine, and serine. These amino acids have smaller side chains and therefore cause less steric strain in the protein structure. In the given options, the sequence that consists of glycine, valine, alanine, and serine is: A) see rain space hero mean space tyro scene. Therefore, that is the sequence you would expect to find on the outer surface of the protein.
