Hydropathy plot helps to _______________(a) Identify hydrophobic amino acids(b) Determine arrangement of amino acids in a transmembrane protein(c) Provides an average hydrophobicity of short peptide segments(d) All of the mentionedThe question was asked in quiz.This question is from Cellular Membranes topic in portion Cellular Membranes of Cell Biology

Answer»

The correct option is (d) All of the mentioned

The explanation is: A hydropathy plot is a method by which transmembrane SEGMENTS of a protein can be identified if the amino acid SEQUENCE of the protein is known. Hydropathy plot assigns each site with a value to measure the hydrophobicity of an amino acid at a site and also at its NEIGHBOURS. This HELPS to determine the arrangement of amino acid in the transmembrane domain, based on its hydrophobic character.
