Which amino acids are likely to be found on the outside of the protein structure?These are serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), cysteine (Cys), asparagine (Asn), glutamine (Gln), and tyrosine (Tyr). These amino acids are usually found at the surface of proteins, as discussed in the Proteins 2 module.
Which amino acid is most likely to be found on the outside of a protein in an aqueous environment?The polar amino acids (AAs) are the ones that are usually found on the folded protein's outer surface because these AAs are hydrophilic (water-loving) in nature. Out of the given AAs in the question, Asp (aspartic acid) is the polar one, and thus, it is most likely to be found on the protein's surface.
Which amino acids are most likely to be found on the outside of a globular protein?So, the amino acids present on exterior of globular protein are aspartic acid and lysine while amino acids present on inside of globular protein are valine and phenylalanine.
Are these amino acids more likely to be found on the interior or exterior of a globular protein that exists in the aqueous cytosol of a cell?Are these amino acids more likely to be found on the interior or exterior of a globular protein that exists in the cytosol of a cell? Interior, away from the aqueous cytosol.
