It depends on what ph Levoe you are exposing it to. For example, if you you take a protein that is usually in an alkaline (basic) solution and put it in an acidic solution, yes it will lose its shape.
The active site of an enzyme can very much be influenced and damaged by a very high pH level. An enzyme is a protein, and because of that it is very sensitive to pH levels. High pH can denature a protein, and thus "damage" the active site.
An enzyme becomes denatured when: A) the temperature exceeds the optimum temperature for that enzyme (ie the temperature that it works best at) B) the pH of the surrounding of the enzyme is too low or too high for the optimum pH for that enzyme. When enzymes are heated up too much they vibrate so vigorously that the bonds holding the protein structure in its specific shape becomes broken. The enzyme shape changes and the substrate no longer fits in to the active site. An enzyme which has become denatured is permanently inactive and will take no further part in reactions.
A PH of 7 is neutral, a PH falling below this means that the water is acidic. Carbon dioxide and SO2 are common gases found in the air which, when when dissolved in rainwater, will cause it to become acidic and thus lower the PH.
If the pH blood level persisted outside the its normal range then the enzymes in the body will not operate and may even die This will cause the organisms to become ill or to die
everything has a pH
Denaturation. It is a process in which the protein loses its natural shape due to changes in external conditions like extreme heat or pH, ultimately leading to the loss of its function. This can disrupt the protein's structure and function, rendering it ineffective in its biological roles.
A protein can become denatured when exposed to high temperatures, extreme pH levels, or harsh chemicals. This process disrupts the protein's shape and alters its function, which can lead to loss of biological activity.
Denatured protein. See attached Wikipedia Denatured Protein link. Denaturation. Proteins are fragile and its function depends on its 3D shape. High heat, salt concentration, pH, radiation etc will cause a protein to 'unravel' or change shape which leaves the protein nonfunctional. It is usually irreversible. Think of it as frying an egg. Eggs are protein right? When you fry an egg you change its shape and it is no longer opaque. You cannot unfry an egg.

Denaturation of a protein is the process by which a protein loses its structure and function due to changes in its environment, such as heat, pH, or chemicals. This can disrupt the interactions that maintain the protein's shape, leading to unfolding and loss of biological activity.
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.
Denaturation of a protein means loss of the protein's function due to structural change in the protein caused by some chemical or physical factor such as high temperature or unfavorable ph. The bonds that hold the structure together get affected which leads to the loss of structure and function
A permanent change in the structure of a protein is known as denaturation. This alteration disrupts the protein's native shape and can be caused by factors such as heat, pH changes, or chemical exposure, leading to loss of function. Denaturation is usually irreversible.
A protein is "denatured" when it inflates or deflates due to pH level, heat, Ect. Not sure if that's what you meant by losing its shape, though
Extreme temperatures and pH levels can cause enzymes to change their shape, leading to denaturation and loss of function. Additionally, high salinity levels can also disrupt the structure of enzymes, affecting their activity.
denaturation. It occurs due to various factors such as changes in pH, temperature, or exposure to chemicals, leading to the loss of the protein's native structure and function.
A change in PH can alter the 3D confirmation of the protein cauzing it to lose function partially or completely. **** A change in pH can denature a protein and also can cause it to change shape, therefore making it useless****
