Which consequence results when polypeptide torsion exceeds limits?

A)Protein misfolding due to steric hindrance
B)Increased hydrophobic interior exposure occurs
C)Hydrogen bonds formation is prohibited
D)Disulfide bridges formation is accelerated

💡 Explanation

Protein misfolding occurs through steric hindrance because exceeding normal torsion angles forces atoms too close; therefore, the native structure becomes energetically unfavorable, rather than hydrophobic exposure, that would cause aggregation under other pathways.
