The interactions formed due to non-polar side chains of amino acids and other non-polar solutes prefer to cluster in a non-polar environment is called____________
Correct Answer: B — Hydrophobic
Explanation:
The side chains of amino acid which contain non polar nature are held in interactions called hydrophobic interactions. The tendency of non-polar molecules in a polar solvent (usually water) to interact with one another is called the hydrophobic effect. The interactions between the nonpolar molecules are called hydrophobic interactions.
