MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Chaotropic agents increase the solubility of nonpolar molecules in water. What effect is a chaotropic agent likely to have on tertiary protein structure?

     

    A

    Strengthen the folding due to the increased solubility of the protein interior in water.

    B

    Strengthen the folding due to the decreased solubility of the protein interior in water.

    C

    Weaken the folding due to the increased solubility of the protein interior in water.

    D

    Weaken the folding due to the decreased solubility of the protein in water.
