Which One of the Following Can Contribute to a Protein's

Question

Which one of the following can contribute to a protein's tertiary structure?
A)ionic bonding
B)van der Waal's forces
C)covalent bonding
D)hydrogen bonding
E)All of the other answer options are correct.

Accepted Answer

All of the listed options—ionic bonding, van der Waal's forces, covalent bonding, and hydrogen bonding—can contribute to a protein's tertiary structure. Ionic and covalent bonding can create strong and stable interactions between amino acid residues in a protein, while hydrogen bonding and van der Waal's forces can create weaker, but still significant, interactions that help to maintain the overall folded shape of the protein. Therefore, all of these options are correct.
