Which of the following is true?
A) The collagen helix and the α -helix are the only types of helices in proteins.
B) Globular proteins tend to be water soluble
C) Globular and fibrous are examples of secondary structure
D) All of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Globular proteins tend to be water soluble because their hydrophilic (water-attracting) amino acids are on the outside of the protein structure, allowing them to interact favorably with water. This characteristic is crucial for their roles in biological systems, such as enzymes, transporters, and antibodies. Options A and C are incorrect because there are other types of helices in proteins besides the collagen helix and the α-helix, and globular and fibrous refer to types of protein tertiary or quaternary structures, not secondary structure.
