Which mechanism causes greater protein aggregation when pH decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing pH causes protonation of amino acid side chains which increases hydrophobic interactions; therefore, hydrophobic interaction strength increases aggregation, rather than disulfide bridges failing, because protonation is the initial catalytic condition.
