Which of the following is the least likely to be involved in stabilizing the three-dimensional folding of most proteins?

  1. A
    Ester bonds
  2. B
    Hydrogen bonds
  3. C
    Electrostatic interaction
  4. D
    Hydrophobic interaction

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Tertiary structure of proteins is stabilized by hydrogen bonds, ionic (electrostatic) interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and disulfide bridges. Ester bonds are common in lipids and nucleic acids but are not a standard feature stabilizing the 3D folding of proteins.
