← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when disulfide bonds are disrupted causing misfolding in globular proteins?
A)Reduced catalytic activity✓
B)Increased thermal stability
C)Enhanced substrate specificity
D)Accelerated protein synthesis
💡 Explanation
Reduced catalytic activity occurs when disulfide bonds are disrupted, because it changes the protein's tertiary structure via protein denaturation rather than retaining the structure, therefore impacting the active site. Increased stability is not correct because the protein unfolds.
