Summary
The
Hydrophobic Core
is a critical
Structural feature of proteins
, formed by the
Aggregation of nonpolar side chains
that avoid
Contact with water
, thus
Stabilizing the protein's three-dimensional structure
. This core is essential for
Maintaining protein function
and integrity, as it
Influences folding
, stability, and
Interactions with other molecules
.
