Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Solubility and folding of globular proteins in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Globular proteins fold so that hydrophobic residues cluster in the core and hydrophilic residues face the aqueous surroundings, giving a compact, roughly spherical shape that is soluble.
