← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes increased protein aggregation within cells?
A)Disrupted protein-water hydrogen bonding✓
B)Increased hydrophobic solvation
C)Enhanced alpha helix formation
D)Decreased van der Waals interactions
💡 Explanation
Disrupted protein-water hydrogen bonding weakens the solvation shell, triggering hydrophobic collapse of the protein and thus aggregation through enhanced intermolecular forces. Therefore, correct answer is disruption rather than promotion of stabilizing hydrophobic or electrostatic interactions.
