Is protein's primary structure formed by hydrophobic interactions?
Ni, just peptide bonding. Hydrophobic interactions do not have significance to folding until tertiary structure folding.
Hydrophobic interactions of the phospholipid tails are respon sible for?
lipid bilayer of cell membrane
What makes proteins three-dimensional?
Hydrophobic interactions cause proteins to form into a three-dimensional shape.
How do factors such as temperature and pH affect enzyme activity?
By simply afecting the bonds ( hbonds . ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions )
Hydrophobic signal molecules can interact with what intracellular receptors?
All receptors - both intra- and extra- cellular - are extremely specific in their interactions.
Why small molecule - protein interactions are generally domninated by hydrophobic interactions?
An example of the protein-protein interactions is the antigen-antibody interactions. Because of the complexity of the protein molecules, the hydrophobic interactions are more dominant.

Are hydrophobic interactions covalent or non covalent?
non covalent
Is Hydrophobic interactions are stronger than hydrogen bond?
Hydrophobic interactions are repulsive and hydrogen bonds are attractive forces. So, not sure hydrophobic interaction is classified as a "force" but rather and "interaction". Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong forces. It's really difficult to compare hydrophobic interaction with hydrogen bond because they are sort of opposite.
Where are hydrophobic interactions most likely to occur?
between two charged molecules
Hydrophobic interactions of the phospholipid tails are respon sible for?
lipid bilayer of cell membrane
How does temperature and pH affect enzymes?
By simply afecting the bonds ( hbonds . ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions )
What are the forces which create the tertiary structure of a polypeptide?
Four of them are; hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, hydrogen bonding and disulphide bridging.

What makes proteins three-dimensional?
Hydrophobic interactions cause proteins to form into a three-dimensional shape.
Nonpolar molecules tend to aggregate in water because they are forced to come into close proximity with each other due to?
hydrophobic interactions
Hydrophobic signal molecules can interact with what intracellular receptors?
All receptors - both intra- and extra- cellular - are extremely specific in their interactions.
