Question 9

Matching

Indicate whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.If a statement is false, explain why it is false.

Premises:
A large number of noncovalent interactions is required to hold two regions of a polypeptide chain together in a stable conformation.
Van der Waals interactions and hydrophobic interactions are two ways to describe the same type of weak forces that help proteins fold.
A single polypeptide tends to adopt three or four different conformations, which all have equivalent free-energy values (G).
Responses:
True
False
