← ScienceWhich mechanism disrupts protein folding fidelity during aggregation?
A)Hydrophobic intermolecular interactions✓
B)Electrostatic molecular repulsions
C)Hydrogen bond saturation
D)Orbital hybridization interference
💡 Explanation
Hydrophobic patches drive aberrant aggregation because hydrophobic intermolecular interactions cause non-native protein associations, resulting in misfolding; therefore, aggregation occurs, rather than proper folding mediated by chaperone proteins or solvation.
