What is the primary cause of aggregation of unfolded proteins like hGH?
What is the primary cause of aggregation of unfolded proteins like hGH?
- Formation of complex structures resistant to aggregates
- Hydrophobic interactions between unfolded proteins (correct)
- Presence of Zn binding sites
- Surfactant occupation of surfaces/interfaces
How does hGH counteract aggregation?
How does hGH counteract aggregation?
- By forming complex structures resistant to aggregates through Zn binding sites + By preventing proteins from coming together using surfactants like polysorbate-20 (correct)
- By exposing hydrophobic interior to promote aggregation
- LOL
- By interacting with solid formulations or liquid interfaces

What role do surfactants like polysorbate-20 play in preventing protein aggregation?
- Exposing hydrophobic interior of proteins
- Promoting hydrophobic interactions between unfolded proteins
- Facilitating the formation of protein aggregates
- Occupying surfaces/interfaces, preventing hydrophobic interactions (correct)
