The hydrophobic effect is the primary driving force for protein folding because: Question 4 options: a) A folded protein is able to form the most hydrogen bonds b) An unfolded protein maximizes the entropy of a biological system c) A folded protein maximizes the entropy of water
A) folded protein happens because this is the most stable conformation that has the most number of internal hydrogen bonds , which result in hydrophobic functional groups being on the outer sides of the protein and causing the hydrophobic effect
