Biochemistry question

The most important contribution to the stability of a protein's conformation appears to be the: O stabilizing effect of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl group of one peptide bond and the amino group of another. O sum of free energies of formation of many weak interactions between its polar amino acids and surrounding water. entropy increase from the decrease in ordered water molecules forming a solvent shell around it. O sum of free energies of formation of many weak interactions among the hundreds of amino acids in a protein. maximum entropy increase from ionic interactions between the ionized amino acids in a protein.

Explanation / Answer

Answer : entropy increase from the decrease in ordered water molecules forming a solvent shell around it.
