Which mechanism disrupts protein folding in high H+ concentration?

💡 Explanation

High H+ concentrations increases solution's acidity as protonation alters amino acid residue charges; this disrupts electrostatic interactions crucial for maintaining proper protein shape because the charged groups repel, therefore the protein unfolds, rather than retaining its intended conformation.
