Which outcome occurs when a pharmaceutical protein drug molecule misfolds?

💡 Explanation

Misfolding causes protein aggregation because hydrophobic patches become exposed, initiating non-native intermolecular interactions following the principles of hydrophobic collapse. Therefore aggregates precipitate hindering therapeutic effect, rather than enhanced bioavailability or degradation as only correctly folded conformations permit cellular function.
