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.

If a proteins shape is changed it has been?
If a proteins shape is changed it has likely been denatured. This is often a breakdown and rearrangement of the protein.
What is the proses of denaturing?
Heat and some chemicals can cause functional molecules, such as proteins to change shape and thus loose their function. Such molecules that have had their shape changed are called denatured.
What happens when globular proteins are denatured?
enzymes change shape/ unfolding of proteins
What bonds are disrupted when a protein is denatured?
Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.
How are molecules such as proteins denatured?
Most commonly a protein can be denatured due to several factors. One of the most common ways of denaturing proteins is through heat. Proteins can also be denatured by exposure to alcohol.
Why do they boil the proteins in western blot test?
Proteins are boiled to denature the proteins. Proteins are made of polypeptide chains, and are tightly folded into a three-dimensional shape within your cells. For a western blot, the protein must be denatured out of its folded shape so that it is only a long polypeptide chain.
Do denatured proteins have nutritional value?
yes
Proteins cannot be denatured by?
freezing
Disruption of a protein chain's normal shape due to heat or acidity?
as much as i know, the proteins become denatured, if that helps
Can proteins be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity?
Yes.
Can proteins be be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity?
Yes.
How are proteins denatured in an organic solvent?
Enzymes and proteins. Denaturation unravels them, ruining their structure and therefore their function.
