Some of the things that disrupt the three dimensional structure (or confirmation) of a protein are:

  1. Extremes of pH

  3. Repeated freezing and thawing
  4. Placing the protein in an organic solvent (only if the protein has a hydrophobic interior)
  5. Placing the protein in a high salt solution
