← ScienceWhich consequence results when disulfide bridges improperly form in secreted insulin?
A)Loss of ligand binding specificity
B)Increased proteolytic degradation rate
C)Compromised protein folding accuracy✓
D)Enhanced receptor dimerization propensity
💡 Explanation
Improper disulfide bridge formation disrupts protein folding accuracy because these bonds stabilize the protein's three-dimensional structure via covalent crosslinks; therefore, the protein misfolds rather than aggregates, because misfolding would involve alternative interactions.
