Which risk increases when disulfide bonds break in insulin?

💡 Explanation

When disulfide bonds break, it disrupts the forces stabilizing the proteins tertiary configuration because the mechanism is destabilization by unfolding, therefore the protein loses its proper three-dimensional shape and function, rather than becoming more hydrophobic or binding more readily.
