Which consequence results when a pharmaceutical protein drug's manufacturing process fails to promote correct disulfide bonds?

A)Elevated thermal decomposition temperature
B)Increased proteolytic degradation rate
C)Enhanced hydrophobicity in solution
D)Reduced glycosylation site occupancy

💡 Explanation

Incorrect disulfide bonds lead to improper protein folding; therefore, the protein is more susceptible to enzymatic breakdown because the proteases can access more cleavage sites, rather than structural integrity preventing degradation.
