Which consequence results when a protein's tertiary folding is disrupted?

💡 Explanation

Loss of specific binding affinity occurs because protein function depends critically on structure to correctly position its binding site; denaturation affects intermolecular **Van der Waals interactions**, therefore it loses function rather than peptide hydrolysis, alpha-helix change, or mass changes.
