Which of the following statements are true? Electrostatic interactions are the dominant forces in protein molecular recognition. When two proteins form a complex there is an unfavorable loss of rotational-translational entropy. Protein-protein interfaces are most often dry. The exclusion of water results in an unfavorable loss in rotational-translational entropy. The free energy change associated with the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex almost always results in an unfavorable reduction in conformational entropy of the proteins. Burial of an uncompensated positive charge inside proteins is usually unfavorable. So-called van der Waals’ interactions are essentially electrostatic in origin. Steric complementarity of the two partners forming a complex is essential to achieve optimal free energy of binding. Structural models of proteins obtained from low temperature crystallography are excellent descriptions of all biochemically relevant aspects of their function.
