Which consequence results when disulfide bridges improperly form in secreted insulin?

💡 Explanation

Improper disulfide bridge formation disrupts protein folding accuracy because these bonds stabilize the protein's three-dimensional structure via covalent crosslinks; therefore, the protein misfolds rather than aggregates, because misfolding would involve alternative interactions.
