Human growth hormone and bacteriorhodopsin both have a similararrangement of helix bundles. However, the surface of the growthhormone protein is composed of primarily hydrophilic residues whilethe sequence of bacteriorhodopsin is composed of mostly hydrophobicresidues.
Select ALL true statements from the list below that can explainthis observation.
A) Human growth hormone is water soluble / in an aqueousenvironment.
B)Bacteriorhodopsin is in a hydrophobic environment.
C)Human growth hormone is in a hydrophobic environment.
D)Bacteriorhodopsin is in a hydrophilic environment.
E)The entropy that drives protein folding forces the folding ofthe bacteriorhodopsin because it is in a water solubleenvironment.
