← ScienceWhich consequence results when the *crystal field splitting* is disrupted in myoglobin?
A)Reduced oxygen binding affinity occurs✓
B)Hydrophobic collapse within the dimer occurs
C)Significant disulfide bridge formation occurs
D)Increased protein glycosylation subsequently occurs
💡 Explanation
Reduced oxygen affinity occurs because disruption directly impacts *crystal field splitting*, a mechanism essential for iron's electronic configuration and subsequent proper O2 binding, therefore affinity lessens rather than being enhanced or affecting glycosylation or hydrophobic interactions.
