    Which of the following is the least likely to be involved in stabilising the three-dimensional folding of most proteins?

    A)  Electrostatic interaction

    B)  Hydrophobic interaction

    C)  Ester bonds

    D)  Hydrogen bonds

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Tertiary structure of a protein brings distinct amino acid side chains closer to form the active side of enzyme proteins. Tertiary structure of a protein is maintained by several types of bonds such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, Van der Waals interactions, disulphide (covalent) bonds, hydrophobic bonds, etc., formed between one part of a polypeptide and another. Tertiary structure gives the protein a three dimensional conformation.
