Denaturation is more commonly known nas aeration. It is the process of the unraveling of protien strands from their spiral coil structure. The uncoiled protiens then wrap around tiny bubbles of air. It occurs mostly due to agitation. Examples of denaturation include the beating of egg whites into peaks. This is used when making foods such as soufflés, sponge cakes and meringues. The reason why this proceeds does not occur when the eggs haven't been separated is because the lipid (fat) in the yolk counteracts this process. The addition of other ingredients such as acids or cream of tarter can have different affects of this process. :)

What is the denaturation of a protein?
Denaturation is the degradation of proteins, a change of the molecular structure.
The disruption of a protein's three-dimensional shape is called?
Denaturation
The application of heat or acid to a protein that causes its shape to change is known as?
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
What will be the effect of adding a concentrated urea solution to a protein?
denaturation of protein
Where does the protein denaturation reacts in the digestive system?
no
What is it called when protein unfolds?
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 is the reaction that breaks down proteins?
protein denaturation
What is the biological effect of denaturation of proteins?
denaturation causes loss in biological activity of the protein. It does not change the primary structure of the protein but results from rearrangement of secondary and tertiary structures
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
What is the term for the state of a protein when the organized structures of that protein become completely disorgainzed?
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.
