Correct answer: A
-
Recall what stabilizes protein structures
Protein structure levels are stabilized by different interactions:
- Secondary structure ( structure: -helix, -sheet) is mainly stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
- Tertiary structure ( structure) is stabilized by interactions such as:
- disulfide linkages
- hydrogen bonding
- van der Waals forces
- ionic and hydrophobic interactions
-
Check each option
A: linkage
- Peroxide linkage is not a normal stabilizing interaction in proteins.
- It does not contribute to stabilization of protein secondary or tertiary structure.
B: linkage
- This is a disulfide bond between cysteine residues.
- It is well known to stabilize the tertiary structure of proteins.
C: van der Waals forces
- These weak intermolecular forces help stabilize folded protein structure, especially tertiary structure.
D: H-bonding
- Hydrogen bonding is the major force stabilizing secondary structure and also contributes to tertiary structure.
-
Conclusion
The interaction that does not stabilize and structures of proteins is:
-
