nope acids are hydophilic.
What else can I help you with?
Is cystine considered a hydrophobic amino acid?
Yes, cystine is considered a hydrophobic amino acid.
Is tyrosine considered a hydrophobic amino acid?
Yes, tyrosine is considered a hydrophobic amino acid.
Is tyrosine considered a hydrophobic or hydrophilic amino acid?
Tyrosine is considered a hydrophobic amino acid.
Is cysteine considered a hydrophobic amino acid?
No, cysteine is not considered a hydrophobic amino acid. It contains a thiol group which makes it more hydrophilic.
What is meant by a hydrophobic amino acid how does it behave around water?
A hydrophobic amino acid has a non-polar side chain that repels water molecules. In an aqueous environment, hydrophobic amino acids tend to cluster together or associate with other non-polar molecules to minimize contact with water. This behavior helps in protein folding and stability.
Is proline considered a hydrophobic amino acid?
Yes, proline is considered a hydrophobic amino acid due to its nonpolar nature and tendency to repel water molecules.
Is amino acid a hydrophobic substance?
nope acids are hydophilic.
Where in a protein is a hydrophobic amino acid?
in the interior as they are hydrophobic, don't like to have contact with water (hydropyllic,polar)
What type of amino acid side chain would you expect to find on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane?
You would expect to find hydrophobic amino acid side chains on the surface of a protein embedded in a cell membrane. These hydrophobic side chains interact favorably with the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the membrane, helping the protein to stay anchored in the membrane.
What is meant by a hydrophobic amino acid?
The side chains of some amino acids are hydrophobic but not all. You can see the molecular structure of those that have hydrophobic side chains by going to http://tinyurl.com/ycyj645.
What is a non polar amino acid?
Non-polar amino acid is hydrophobic ( GROUP 1)LeucineProlineAlanineValineGlycineMethionineTryptophanPhenylalanineIsoleucine
Is hexapeptide hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
It depends on the specific amino acid sequence of the hexapeptide. Some hexapeptides may contain hydrophobic amino acids, making them hydrophobic. Others may contain hydrophilic amino acids, making them hydrophilic.
