The following sequence forms an amphipathic α-helix: Ala-Val-Asn-Asp-Glu-Ile-Ser-Thr-Leu-Met-His-Arg-Val-Lys-Ser-Phe-Phe-Gly
In your mind (or by taking a photo, sketching it out, annotating on the screen, or doing-whatever-you-need-to-do-because-this-isn't-a-paper-exam-so-I'm-adapting-it-here-for-this-revision-quiz...), map the sequence onto the helical wheel shown below. The position of Ala-1 is already shown.
Which side of the helical wheel diagram represents the hydrophobic side of the helix?

 Which side of the helical wheel diagram represents the  hydrophobic side  of the helix?

Answer

The right side (if we imagine it like a clock face, then ~2pm to ~5pm -- and yes, I know, this kind of wording would never be in the exam)

Answer

The left side (if we imagine it like a clock face, then ~6pm to ~10pm -- and yes, I know, this kind of wording would never be in the exam)

Answer

The top (if we imagine it like a clock face, then ~10pm to ~2pm -- and yes, I know, this kind of wording would never be in the exam)

Answer

The bottom (if we imagine it like a clock face, then ~4pm to ~7pm -- and yes, I know, this kind of wording would never be in the exam)
