The one that does not stabilize 2 and 3 structures of proteins is
Biomolecules · Class 12 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
The one that does not stabilize and structures of proteins is
- a
H-bonding
- b
linkage
- c✓
linkage
- d
van der Waals forces
linkage
Step 1: Identifying Protein Stabilizers — Secondary () and tertiary () structures of proteins are held together by various non-covalent and covalent interactions.
Step 2: Common Links — Primary among these are hydrogen bonds (-helices/-sheets), disulfide linkages (), and hydrophobic van der Waals forces.
Step 3: Finding the Odd One — Peroxide linkages () are not involved in biological protein stabilization. Thus, (c) is the correct choice.
Key Point: Disulfide bonds are critical for stabilizing the 3D folding (tertiary structure) of proteins like insulin.
