← ScienceWhich outcome happens when proton concentration increases disrupting enzyme catalytic sites?
A)Protein denaturation prevents proper folding✓
B)Increased disulfide bridge cross-linking forms
C)Enhanced hydrophobic interaction takes place
D)Peptide bond amplification induces polymerization
💡 Explanation
Protein denaturation prevents proper folding because excess protons disrupt ionic and hydrogen bonds maintaining structure, thus changing its shape and preventing substrate binding rather than the alternative covalent crosslinking, because pH changes ionic interaction.
