However, the hydrophobic interactions are not the only thing holding it together or helping to keep its conformation. There are also many <scene name='Sandbox_34/Adenylate_kinase_andpolarside/1'>polar and charged side groups (green)</scene> that help maintain the hydrophobic interactions and help stabilize the protein by interacting with one another. | However, the hydrophobic interactions are not the only thing holding it together or helping to keep its conformation.
