Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

The hydrophilic/ hydrophobic character of amino acid residues is important to tertiary structure of protein rather than to secondary structure. In secondary structure, it is the steric size of the residues that is important and residues are positioned to minimise interactions between each other and the peptide chain.
