You come across an article that discusses a new drug that interferes with hydrogen bonding during protein formation. Based on your understanding of the levels of protein organization, which of the following is a probable consequence following exposure to this new drug?

A. Protein folding will arrest during the formation of tertiary structure. The drug would interfere with the ability of the alpha helix or beta sheet to form the bonds necessary to fold into a globular protein.
B. The drug would prevent amino acids from bonding together which would in turn prevent the formation of the primary structure of the protein.
C. Protein folding will arrest during the formation of secondary structure. The drug would prevent the polypeptide from forming an alpha helix or a beta sheet.
D. The polypeptide would be unable to form a quarternary structure because it would be unable to form the bonds necessary to link up with other protein molecules.
