Want this question answered?
A protein that has lost its native nature conformation by exposure to a destabilizing agent such as heat or detergent.
Native Gel or the Native PAGE is the electrophoretic system in which the the proteins are run in their native conformation, that is that they are not denatured. This used when the function of the protein is important, especially enzymes, as the function of a protein is related to its native structure.
Conformation is what determines a protein's unique set of functional and otherwise shapes.
Tertiary - the protein's natural three- dimensional conformation - and Quaternary - how separately related tertiary forms coalesce.
Environment and bonding. The structure determines its function.

each protein will have unique structure & conformation. thus each protein is able to do various jobs
This occurs when lipoproteins exchange their lipid and protein components with the environment.
yes a ligand is anything that can change the conformation of a receptor protein. hormones bind to proteins in the same way ligands do

It requires energy, and a carrier protein. The large particle binds to the carrier protein on the inside of the cell. The protein then changes conformation, thus moving the particle to the outside, where it is dropped off by another conformational change in the protein.
The most effective cause of their nonfunction or unefficiency is denaturation that is to lose their native conformation by heat or some detergent and second is the environment provided as to function properly protein needs specific pH, temprature etc.
