The stability of the tertiary structure of a globular protein in an aqueous environment is largely maintained by:

  • Hydrophobic interactions burying nonpolar R-groups in the interior and hydrophilic interactions exposing polar R-groups on the surface.
  • Extensive disulfide bonds throughout the entire structure.
  • Continuous alpha-helix formation.
  • The rigid backbone structure.
