Which outcome occurs when differential chloride concentrations disrupt protein stabilization?

A)Increased aggregation of unfolded proteins
B)Enhanced protein folding and assembly
C)Suppressed hydrophobic intermolecular interaction
D)Stabilization of existing oligomeric states

💡 Explanation

Increased aggregation of proteins results, because changing chloride concentrations weakens the **ionic interactions**, disrupting the overall protein stabilizing effect. This leads to the non-native state being more favorable therefore, the unfolded protein aggregates rather than properly folding in solution.
