Question
The structural state wherein a globular protein is partially extended is characterized as:A.unfolded.B.premolten globule.C.denatured.D.natively folded.
Solution
The structural state wherein a globular protein is partially extended is characterized as a premolten globule. This state is intermediate between the fully folded (natively folded) and the fully unfolded states. It retains some secondary structure but lacks the specific tertiary structure of the natively folded state. Therefore, the answer is B. premolten globule.
