Among these amino acid combinations listed above, only the combination of Lys and Glu have side chains with groups that have the greatest ability to stabilize the tertiary structure of a protein.   Explain by drawing (a) why Lys and Glu side chain interaction stabilizes the tertiary structure of a protein (b) why the pairs of Glu and Asp & Arg and Pro cannot provide the stability to the protein structure.
