← ScienceWhich consequence results when a complex protein's folding energy landscape exhibits multiple local minima?
A)Increased catalytic activity
B)Enhanced thermal stability
C)Protein misfolding aggregation✓
D)Decreased substrate specificity
💡 Explanation
Protein misfolding aggregation occurs because the protein folding funnel guides the protein into local energy minima, and becomes kinetically trapped; therefore the correctly-folded native state is not reached, rather than the protein adopting its functional, lowest-energy conformation.
