Extensive unfolding sometimes causes precipitation of the protein from solution. Denaturation is defined as a major change from the original native state without alteration of the molecule's primary structure, i.e., without cleavage of any of the primary chemical bonds that link one amino acid to another
During denaturation the 3-dimensional structure of protein get disturb or get opened by breaking of hydrogen bonds

∙ 14y agoNo. The specific sequence of amino acids in a chain does not change. It is the quaternary, tertiary, and possibly the secondary structure that is altered. Usually the denaturing process renders the protein unable to complete its designed task; however, sometimes denaturization is reversible.

∙ 9y agoWhen a protein molecule is denatured, it loses its three-dimensional structure and their function. Cooking protein foods is a way to denature protein, which makes food easier to digest.

What bonds are disrupted when a protein is denatured?
Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.
Is casein positive to millon's test?
Yes, because casein is one of the protein that makes up milk. And when milk is denatured (by heat, or by any means), the denatured protein is tyrosine-which is the only protein positive for millon's test.
When globular protein has its hydrogen bonds broken it becomes?
Denatured
What characteristics of a protein remain after it is denatured?
When a protein is denatured, its molecular shape is altered. This alteration may or may not be reversible.What remains is the primary structure of the chain(s) of the protein, in other words the sequence of the amino acids.The tertiary structure referers to the overall three dimensional shape will be lost
Protein plus HCl plus Water?
Most likely a denatured protein (plus HCl and water). You'll need to be more specific if you want a better answer.
What is protein denatured by?
A denatured protein has had its structure dismantled or altered, rendering it disfunctional or nonfunctional, and therefore useless.
A protein can become denatured when?
A protein can become denatured when a number of things happen. Some of them are the loss of solubility by the protein as well as cooking proteins will cause them to be denatured among others.
Which level of protein structure is unaffected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure
When a protein loses its normal configuration?
Denatured
Dose a denatured protein works faster?
No
What is a non working protein called?
denatured
What bonds are disrupted when a protein is denatured?
Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.
What does it mean when the enzyme becomes denatured?
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
What happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
What is a change in the normal confirmation of a protein that often results in loss of protein function called?
That protein is called denatured.
Is a denatured protein able to function?
The function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein denatures.
Do denatured proteins have their shape changed?
Denatured proteins do not have any particular shape. A denatured protein is one that has broken amino acid interactions in the secondary and tertiary structures.
