Irreversible changes in the shape of proteins are called denaturation. This process disrupts the protein's structure, causing it to lose its functional form and activity. Common causes of denaturation include high temperatures, extreme pH levels, and exposure to certain chemicals.

What denatured proteins?

Protein molecules change shape when you heat them. Then energy from cooking breaks some of the chemical bonds in the protein and this allows the molecule to take a different shape. This gives the food a more edible texture. The change is irreversible. It is called denaturing.

What process changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds with it?

The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.
