Which consequence results when disulfide bridge formation is inhibited in antibody proteins?

💡 Explanation

Inhibiting disulfide bridges prevents proper tertiary structure, because covalent bonding stabilizes chains necessary for the protein's antigen-binding site via proper molecular folding; therefore, antigen-binding affinity decreases, rather than altering protein breakdown pathways.
