Question
What type of interaction is not typically involved in maintaining tertiary protein structure?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Tertiary structure is stabilized by various interactions among R groups: hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and disulfide bridges (covalent). Glycosidic linkages are bonds between sugars in carbohydrates, not involved in protein folding.
Hint
Glycosidic linkages are for carbs, not proteins.
