Which outcome occurs when a pharmaceutical protein exceeds the glass transition temperature?

💡 Explanation

Protein unfolding and aggregation increases with temperature because exceeding glass transition increases molecular mobility; therefore proteins unfold and aggregate, rather than crystallizing,remaining stable, or breaking covalent bonds.
