← ScienceWhich consequence results when polypeptide chains misfold and aggregate in cellular proteins?
A)Impaired protein functionality arises✓
B)Increased resistance to enzymatic digestion
C)Enhanced solubility in aqueous solutions
D)Reduced sensitivity to thermal denaturation
💡 Explanation
Misfolding weakens inter- and intramolecular bonds, resulting in incorrect protein structure and impaired function; this is aggregation. Because of the disruption of hydrogen bonds, reduced solubility arises, therefore protein functionality is reduced, rather than enhanced stability arising.
