1.	The most important contribution to the stability of a protein conformation appears to be theA. entropy increase from the decrease in ordered water molecules forming a solvent shell around itB. maximum entropy increase from ionic interactions between the ionized amino acids in a proteinC. sum of free energies of formation of many weak interactions between its polar amino acids and surrounding water moleculesD. sum of free energies the hundreds of amino acids in a protein
Answer» Correct Answer - D Several weak electrostatic attractin exist between the amino acid units of protein. These interactions lower the free energy to a very great extent.
