Question

Based on the hydrophobic collapse model for protein folding, which of the following conditions can denature a protein? Choose one or more: A. Changes in pH break salt bridge interactions that stabilize the sequesteration of hydrophobic residues into the protected core of the protein. B. Exposing the protein to white light causes the hydrophobic residues to cluster in the core. C. Lowering the protein concentration changes the hydration surface, altering residues that partition into the hydrophobic core. D. Adding glycerol stabilizes hydrophobic residues on the protein surface. E. Heating proteins leads to exposure of the hydrophobic core, disrupting folding.

Explanation / Answer

Option D, . Adding glycerol stabilizes hydrophobic residues on the protein surface...becoz .glycerol behaves as a chemical denaturant.
