Which outcome occurs when a nonpolar molecular solvent, like hexane, interacts with a protein?

💡 Explanation

Hydrocarbons cause hydrophobic collapse of nonpolar residues because it minimizes contact with the unfavorable solvent via hydrophobic effect. This drives protein folding to bury them within the interior, therefore it will not affect disulfide bonds rather than directly break them under these conditions.
