Which phenomenon causes proteins to misfold during denaturation?

💡 Explanation

The hydrophobic effect disruption causes misfolding because non-polar amino acids, normally buried inside the protein, become exposed, thus leading to aggregation. This occurs rather than peptide bond hydrolysis or racemization because the hydrophobic effect is weakened at higher temperatures.
