Do proteins soluble in organic solvents other than water what are they?

Answer 1

proteins are polymer of amino acids. so if we want to know the characteristic of protein we must know the characteristic of amino acids.

amino acids have two ends, head and tail. the head of the amino acids contains contain carboxyl group and amine group. the interaction between these two groups causes the amino acids to have zwitter ionic effect that leads to the polarity of amino acids (amino acids have charges). however, the tail of the amino acids contains a long chain of carbon that leads to the hydrophobicity of amino acids. the longer the tail the more non-polar it is. thus, the amino acid solubles in organic solvent. organic solvent are hexane, fats, alcohols, etc. but mostly, the proteins are polar. they dissolve in inorganic substances, i.e. water, caustic soda, and other inorganic liquids.

Answer 2

Proteins that are soluble in organic solvents other than water are known as "soluble proteins." These proteins have hydrophobic regions that interact favorably with organic solvents, allowing them to dissolve. Examples of these proteins include lipases, some enzymes, and some membrane proteins.
