← ScienceWhich outcome of protein misfolding results from hydrophobic collapse?
A)Aggregation-prone conformations become exposed✓
B)Enzyme active sites are efficiently stabilized
C)Native secondary structures get strengthened
D)Solubility spontaneously maintains optimal levels
💡 Explanation
When a protein misfolds, hydrophobic amino acids aggregate inward via hydrophobic collapse because water molecules are driven away from nonpolar surfaces to maximize entropy within the system; therefore aggregation occurs, rather than stabilization of native structures.
