When a protein is denatured it involves the disruption and possible destruction of both tertiary and secondary structures. The denature of proteins can happen through the exposure of chemicals or heat.

∙ 6y agoProteins/Enzymes are complex molecules that work because of their folding SHAPE and composition.
Denaturing is a process which alters this shape so the molecule no longer works as intended.
Application of heat above 65 degrees Celsius will cause vibrations at the molecular level which will cause denaturing as will exposure to certain chemicals or ionising radiation.

A protein can become denatured when?
A protein can become denatured when a number of things happen. Some of them are the loss of solubility by the protein as well as cooking proteins will cause them to be denatured among others.
What happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
What is broken if a protein may become denatured?
petide bonds
If a proteins shape is changed it has been?
If a proteins shape is changed it has likely been denatured. This is often a breakdown and rearrangement of the protein.
When a protein is denatured what will happen to the turnover number?
The turnover number refers to the enzyme activity during a biochemical process. When a protein is denatured it can no longer function and so the turnover number goes down.
What is protein denatured by?
A denatured protein has had its structure dismantled or altered, rendering it disfunctional or nonfunctional, and therefore useless.
What does it mean when the enzyme becomes denatured?
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
A protein can become denatured when?
A protein can become denatured when a number of things happen. Some of them are the loss of solubility by the protein as well as cooking proteins will cause them to be denatured among others.
Which level of protein structure is unaffected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure
When a protein loses its normal configuration?
Denatured
Dose a denatured protein works faster?
No
What is a non working protein called?
denatured
What bonds are disrupted when a protein is denatured?
Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.
What happened to a protein that has become denatured?
A protein is denatured because of high temperatures or changes in pH. When it is denatured, it means that the protein has lost its original shape and therefore, it cannot function properly anymore.
What is a change in the normal confirmation of a protein that often results in loss of protein function called?
That protein is called denatured.
Is a denatured protein able to function?
The function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein denatures.
Do denatured proteins have their shape changed?
Denatured proteins do not have any particular shape. A denatured protein is one that has broken amino acid interactions in the secondary and tertiary structures.
