Which consequence results when thermal energy disrupts protein folding?

💡 Explanation

Protein denaturation disrupts function because increasing temperature increases molecular motion, interfering with hydrogen bonding required for secondary tertiary structure folding. Therefore, non-covalent interactions break rather than disulfide links forming, which is stabilized by covalent bonds.
