Can Heavy metals may also disrupt disulfide bonds because of their high affinity and attraction for sulfur and will also lead to the denaturation of proteins?

Yes, heavy metals insert themselves between disulfide bonds and this can cause denaturation of quaternary and tertiary protein structures.

What is the Function of mercaptoethanol in SDS PAGE?
breaks the disulfide bonds, reduces the crosslinking in proteins, and hence, denatures it.
What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
How does bases react to proteins?
denaturation.
What is the reaction that breaks down proteins?
protein denaturation
Which bond that stabalizes a proteins tertiary structure is the strongest?
Disulfide
What is the term used for a change in a protein's three dimensional shape or confirmation due to disruption oh hydrogen bonds disulfide bridges or ionic bonds?
The change in a proteins' three dimensional shape or conformation is called denaturation.

The altering of a proteins shape is called?
Denaturation
What is the reaction that breaks down proteins?
protein denaturation
What is renaturation?
Renaturation is the opposite of denaturation for example in proteins. Basically in proteins if the polypeptide chain has been broken through denaturation, sometimes it is possible to be renatured or rebuilt to form the polypeptide chain.
Which bond that stabalizes a proteins tertiary structure is the strongest?
Disulfide
What is destruction OS a proteins shape called?
I think its called denaturation
When proteins uncoil and lose their shape due to certain exposures?
denaturation
What is Permanent unfolding of normal protein?
its like the denaturation of proteins so just look up denaturation of proteins on google and there should be an animation on it on the first page. it explains everything
Why do proteins with multiple disulfide bonds stronger?
A disulphide bond is covalent.
