← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessive mechanical force cleaves peptide bonds?
A)Protein denaturation and loss of function✓
B)Increased alpha helix formation only
C)Enhanced disulfide bridge stabilization
D)Increased hydrophobic interactions stability
💡 Explanation
Protein unfolding occurs because mechanical forces can rupture peptide bonds through **hydrolysis**, destroying the primary structure; therefore, denaturation occurs, and activity is lost entirely, rather than only changes in helices or interactions.
