The function of a protein is dependent upon the shape into which the chain of amino acids folds. many noncovalent interactions are responsible for maintaining the protein's shape. assume you have isolated a protein from an organism in its proper shape, and you have treated it with an enzyme that selectively targets and breaks only the peptide bonds in the proteins. would the protein retain its shape under these conditions?

The correct answer for this question is this one: "Yes, the protein retain its shape under these conditions. Assuming that you have isolated a protein from an organism in its proper shape, and you have treated it with an enzyme that selectively targets and breaks only the peptide bonds in the proteins."  Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
