Document Summary

Folding is the result of interactions between residues that hold a polypeptide into shape. Folding is a random process; bonds are forming and are also breaking as different bonds form: polypeptide might unfold but then it might fold again. Folding depends upon the number and the strength of bonds and interactions that are maintaining protein conformation. Animation: grey spheres are amino acids, their specific identities do not affect folding o polypeptide begins to fold and takes on a shape o. Hydrophobic side chains in this polypeptide are going to aggregate together in a hydrophobic core and that core is important in stabilizing the protein . Hiding those hydrophobic side chains is thermodynamically favourable: bonds begin to form lomoar cpsd| 2151316. Blue and purple form a hydrogen bond that is holding those arms together in a particular formation. Yellow and green form ionic bond, holding together the arms.
