Which consequence results when a pharmaceutical destabilizes protein's confirmation?

A)Loss of active domain structure
B)Increased hydrophobic residue exposure
C)Accelerated alpha helix propagation
D)Enhanced disulfide bridge stabilization

💡 Explanation

Loss of an active domain occurs because the induced-fit action requires the native three-dimensional structure; this loss is due to **conformational change**, therefore biological activity often diminishes irreversibly, rather than other effects like simple changes in local hydrophobicity.
