← ScienceWhich consequence results when polypeptide tertiary folding fails in proteins?
A)Hydrophobic collapse will not occur
B)Native conformation is not achieved✓
C)Amide bond resonance destabilizes helices
D)Disulfide bridges prevent signal transduction
💡 Explanation
Failure of tertiary folding prevents the proper, functional conformation of the protein, because the **hydrophobic effect** driving folding is disrupted, therefore the overall native, functional conformation is not achieved, rather than the protein correctly folding via alternative interaction pathways.
