Question

A mutation causes a change in the orientation of R groups in an alpha helix. How might this affect the protein's stability?

Accepted Answer

The protein's stability would likely decrease due to increased steric hindrance.

Answer

The protein's stability would likely increase due to decreased steric hindrance.

Answer

The protein's stability would increase due to additional hydrogen bonding.

Answer

The protein's stability would remain unchanged as R group orientation is irrelevant.
