In the tertiary structure of protein, the non-polar residues tend to occur in the protein interior and polar residues on the exterior.

In the tertiary structure of protein, the non-polar residues tend to occur in the protein interior and polar residues on the exterior. Correct Answer True

Generally, a globular protein contains both polar and non-polar residues. The polar residues are present mostly on the outer surface of a protein to interact with the hydrophilic environment. The non-polar residues reside in the interior of the protein. Hence, the above statement is true.
