← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when disulfide bonds hydrolyze enzyme?
A)Enzyme loses tertiary protein structure✓
B)Increased catalytic activity is observed
C)Enzyme becomes more thermally stable
D)Hydrophobic core becomes more hydrophilic
💡 Explanation
Enzymes unfold through a loss of configuration when disulfide bonds are hydrolyzed under acidic environment; this disrupts stabilizing intramolecular interactions, therefore eliminating tertiary structure, rather than increased catalytic activity, because activity requires a precisely folded structure.
