a) | gel-filtration chromatography | ||||||||||
b) | SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis | ||||||||||
c) | mass spectrometry | ||||||||||

Which of the following is not associated with the folding of a protein into its native conformation?
options:
a) | Molecular chaperones prevent folding intermediates from aggregating. |
b) | Folding of proteins is a relatively slow process as the stabilization of the molecular structure depends solely on salt bridge interactions which take time to form. |
c) | The major driving force for protein folding is the overall increase in solvent entropy. This increase in solvent entropy is a result of the strong interactions between water molecules that lead to the association of nonpolar side chains and subsequent collapse of the molecule into a more compact shape. |
d) | Hydrogen bonds contribute to the cooperativity of folding and help stabilize the native conformations of proteins. |
e) | All of the above are associated with the folding of a protein into its native conformation. |
