Answer to Question 1

1. heat; affects weak interactions between R groups
2. mechanical stress; shifts R groups into different positions in relation to each other
3. detergents; affect hydrophobic interactions
4. organic compounds; affect hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions
5. pH change; changes nature of acidic or basic R groups, thus changing their interactions; also can affect sulfur-sulfur interactions and hydrogen bonding.
