Which property change results from hydrogen bonding disrupting protein folding in solution?

A)Decreased viscosity of hydrated solvent
B)Increased solubility of nonpolar solutes
C)Reduced enzymatic catalytic activity
D)Elevated boiling point of bulk solution

💡 Explanation

When hydrogen bonding unfolds a protein, the tertiary protein structure unravels due to disruption of intramolecular forces, inhibiting active site formation therefore reducing enzymatic catalytic activity. Therefore reduces enzyme activity results, rather than viscosity, solubility or boiling point change effects which do not occur directly by protein structure change.
