Answer

a) Gln more likely to be on a proteins surface because it is a uncharge polar where as Trp is a non polar. b) Ser is less likely to be in proteins interior because its a uncharged polar so it would be present outside, where as Val is a non polar so it would be present inside. c) lle is less likely to be found in middle of an alpha helix because it has a lower propensity. d) cys is more likely to be in beta sheet since it has higher propensity.
