← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when excessive heat affects glycoprotein structure?
A)Denaturation interrupts hydrogen bonding network✓
B)Hydrolysis cleaves peptide bonds rapidly
C)Crystallization reinforces hydrophobic interactions
D)Polymerization stabilizes disulfide bridges effectively
💡 Explanation
Denaturation disrupts the tertiary and secondary structure because it unfolds the protein via breaking non-covalent bonds like hydrogen bonds; therefore, functionality becomes compromised, rather than preserving the more stable covalent bonds or hydrophobic interactions.
