Which mechanism dictates protein misfolding during amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?

A)Disrupted hydrogen bond network
B)Increased Van der Waals forces
C)Enhanced hydrophobic exclusion
D)Exaggerated ionic bond formation

💡 Explanation

Misfolding happens because a disrupted hydrogen bond network causes incorrect protein conformation, therefore leading to aggregation and toxicity characteristic of ALS, rather than other forces which assist native folding.
