Which outcome occurs when increasing thermal agitation disrupts protein tertiary structure?

💡 Explanation

Increasing thermal agitation affects protein structure because protein denaturation unfolds the three-dimensional structure. This unfolding disrupts the specific active site geometry, therefore, the enzymatic activity decreases rather than the protein remaining active under the new confirmation.
