Proteins fold in water with hydrophilic amino acids on the exterior and hydrophobic ones in the interior. The most common method of measuring amino acid hydrophobicity is partitioning between two immiscible liquid phases. Nozaki and Tanford proposed the first major hydrophobicity scale for nine amino acids. They measured the standard Gibbs free energy change of transfer of an amino acid sidechain from 100% organic phase into water at 25°C. AA(org) ---> AA(aq) IF the value for serine is -0.300 kcal/mol, and the concentration of serine in the organic phase is 1.00 mmol/L, what would be the equilibrium concentration in the aqueous phase in mmol/L?
Answer: ______________mmol/L
ON the other hand, the transfer free energy for tryptophan sidechain is +3.400 kcal/mol. If the concentration of Trp in the organic phase is 1.00 mmol/L, what would be the equilibrium concentration in the aqueous phase?
Answer:______________mmol/L.
Based on this comparison, which amino acid side chain is the most hydrophobic?

Water-soluble proteins, such as myoglobin, tend to fold such that hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acid R groups form hydrogen bonds with each other. hydrophobic amino acid R groups are on the interior of the protein and hydrophilic groups are on the outside. all peptides form hydrogen bonds with water. hydrophilic amino acid R groups are on the interior of the protein and hydrophobic groups are on the outside.

1. Amino acids are considered to be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic as described by the relative polarity of their side chain. Consider a folded protein in an aqueous environment; where would the hydrophobic amino acids likely be found? -Tucked away in the middle of the folded protein -Randomly distributed throughout the protein -Exposed on the exterior surface of the folded protein 2. All proteins exhibit a primary, secondary, and tertiary structure, but not all proteins exhibit a quaternary structure. Describe...
