Which consequence results when thermal energy disrupts protein folding?

A)Loss of hydrogen bonding stabililization
B)Increased disulfide bridge formation
C)Enhanced hydrophobic interaction strength
D)Catalyzed peptide bond hydrolysis

💡 Explanation

Protein denaturation disrupts function because increasing temperature increases molecular motion, interfering with hydrogen bonding required for secondary tertiary structure folding. Therefore, non-covalent interactions break rather than disulfide links forming, which is stabilized by covalent bonds.
