Which consequence results when the Boltzmann constant increases within a protein folding simulation?

💡 Explanation

An increased Boltzmann constant causes the simulation to explore higher energy states more readily due to enhanced thermal fluctuations; this is called detailed balance. Therefore, structure sampling shifts toward unfolded states, rather than faster folding, because simulation escapes low-energy minima.
