← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing thermal agitation disrupts protein tertiary structure?
A)Enzyme catalytic activity diminishes sharply✓
B)Peptide bonds become increasingly stable
C)Hydrophobic effect becomes more potent
D)Alpha-helix formation is strongly promoted
💡 Explanation
Increasing thermal agitation affects protein structure because protein denaturation unfolds the three-dimensional structure. This unfolding disrupts the specific active site geometry, therefore, the enzymatic activity decreases rather than the protein remaining active under the new confirmation.
