What consequence results when disulfide bonds incorrectly form during protein folding?

💡 Explanation

When disulfide bonds form incorrectly, aberrant protein folding occurs due to incorrect interactions between cysteine residues, resulting in altered 3D structure thus impairing the location of the active site. Therefore catalytic activity may be impaired, rather than enhanced specificity, increased synthesis, or stabilization that require correctly formed proteins.
