Which conformation change results when water bridges two protein surfaces?

💡 Explanation

The hydrophobic effect increases because when water mediates contact between hydrophobic residues on separate protein surfaces, it minimizes the exposure of hydrophobic areas to surroundings; therefore, stabilizing the tertiary structure of the protein rather than disrupting it via denaturation.
