High temperatures that go past the optimum temperatures usually leads to the denaturation of the protein. Denaturation of the proteins is usually as a result of the destruction of the tertiary and primary structures.

Do changes in salt concentration cause proteins to become denatured?
denaturation of protein by salt?
The disruption of a protein's three-dimensional shape is called?
Denaturation
What is the process called for unfolding a protein?
The process of a protein unfolding is called denaturation. During denaturation normal alpha-helix and beta sheets are disrupted causing the protein to uncoil and become misshaped
Define denaturation and explain how proteins may be denatured?
2 ways they can denature:- When they are exposed to temperatures higher than their optimum operating temp- When the pH is too high or too low.Denaturation_of_proteins_may_result_in_whatDenaturation is the loss of structure in proteins, destroying their binding sites and makingWhat_may_cause_a_protein_to_be_denatured
A drastic conformational change in protein in response to conditions such as extreme heat pH will lead to loss of a protein function this drastic change in shape is called?
denaturation
Would exposing a piece of cheese to air be protein denaturation?
No. Unless the temperature changes. Any thing that is cooked, or acid base added, or an egg beaten is protein denaturation.
What is the difference between denaturation and dissociation?
denaturation is when a protein's environment is changed and the a protein changes its shape or sometimes even unfolds. they become inactive. dissociation refers to a large or complex protein made up of several different subunits in which the protein breaks apart and back into its separate subunits.
Do changes in salt concentration cause proteins to become denatured?
denaturation of protein by salt?
When extreme temperature changes a protein's shape so much that it can no longer perform its usual function?
denaturation
What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
Why does the albumin turn white?
It's due to denaturation of protein by heat,alkaline/acidic solution etc
The disruption of a protein's three-dimensional shape is called?
Denaturation
What do you call the process by which acid uncoils a protein molecule?
This process is called denaturation. It can be caused by acids, bases, organic solvents, or heat. When denaturation occurs, it changes the shape of the protein. Since form follows function, a protein's function is disabled if it no longer has the form required to carry out its tasks.
The application of heat or acid to a protein that causes its shape to change is known as?
denaturation.
Biochemical changes in protein during cooking?
denaturation of proteins takes place and amino acids may be lost during cooking..!!
What is the process called for unfolding a protein?
The process of a protein unfolding is called denaturation. During denaturation normal alpha-helix and beta sheets are disrupted causing the protein to uncoil and become misshaped
What will be the effect of adding a concentrated urea solution to a protein?
denaturation of protein
