- Denaturation of Protein: Definition, Causes, Process and Uses
Denaturation is the process of breaking many of the weak bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, that give proteins their highly ordered structure when they are in their native, natural state Weak and irregularly arranged, denatured proteins are mostly insoluble
- Denaturation | Definition, Examples, Facts | Britannica
Denaturation can be brought about in various ways, including by heating, by changes in pH (i e , exposure to alkali or acidic conditions), by treatment with chemicals such as urea or detergents, and by vigorous shaking
- What is denaturing, and what causes it to occur? - Brainly. com
Denaturing is the process where proteins or nucleic acids lose their natural structure due to external stresses such as heat or pH changes It can be caused by extreme temperatures, pH alterations, or chemical agents, which disrupt the weak bonds maintaining the molecules' structures
