In a newly discovered protein, you find a predominance of parallel beta sheets. What might this suggest about the protein's stability and function?

• A. The protein is likely more stable due to stronger hydrogen bonds, indicating a rigid structure.
• B. The protein may be less stable due to weaker hydrogen bonds, possibly indicating a flexible or dynamic function.
• C. The protein's function is likely unrelated to its beta sheet structure.
• D. The protein is likely more stable due to weaker hydrogen bonds, indicating a flexible structure.

Answer: (B)
