← ScienceWhich consequence results when peptide bonds hydrolyze during protein denaturation?
A)Loss of primary amino sequence✓
B)Disruption of alpha helix formation
C)Increased hydrophobic interactions
D)Reversible protein refolding occurs
💡 Explanation
Hydrolysis of peptide bonds breaks the covalent bonds linking amino acids. This causes a loss of the primary sequence, because the peptide bond cleavage alters the polypeptide backbone, therefore the primary strucutre is affected rather than secondary or tertiary structures.
