← ScienceWhich consequence results when disulfide bridge formation is inhibited in antibody proteins?
A)Reduced antigen-binding affinity✓
B)Increased proteolytic degradation
C)Enhanced cellular aggregation
D)Elevated secretion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Inhibiting disulfide bridges prevents proper tertiary structure, because covalent bonding stabilizes chains necessary for the protein's antigen-binding site via proper molecular folding; therefore, antigen-binding affinity decreases, rather than altering protein breakdown pathways.
