the function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape, which is lost when a protein becomes denatured.
The shape of a protein determines its specific function within a cell. Denaturing a protein will alter its shape, thus it will no longer function.
Cold temperatures slow down the movement of molecules, reducing the kinetic energy that drives protein denaturation. Additionally, colder temperatures do not provide the energy required to disrupt the bonds maintaining the protein's specific structure. However, extreme cold temperatures can still affect protein stability and function over a longer period.
It would denature. Here's the way I picture it....look at an egg as a protein. In a bowl (uncooked), it has a certain shape and consistency. If you expose that egg to heat, it will change shape and consistency, right? The other thing is that once you cook the egg, you can never get it go back to the shape/condition it was before you cooked it -- you can no longer use it as an ingredient in a cake. It's the same principal with a protein...once you denature it with heat, it is forever changed and therefore, will never function the same way again -- it can never be used as an ingredient to reactions within the body.
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
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
denaturation
Proteins denature at temperatures above 40-50 degrees Celsius. This process disrupts the protein's structure, causing it to lose its shape and function. Denatured proteins may no longer be able to perform their biological roles effectively.
The high heat or radiation can cause the protein molecule to denature, losing its original structure and function. This can lead to the protein becoming non-functional and potentially harmful to the cell or organism.
In most cases, extremes of temperature denature (alter the 3D structure of) proteins. In biological systems that denaturing temperature may be fairly mild. Another term for protein denaturing is coagulation which is what happens to the proteins of a boiled egg.

Boiling can allow for the extraction of DNA.

denaturation
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****
I am not sure if they work after being frozen sorry. But, once enzymes reach a certain high temperature they will denature causing them to become inactive. This process is irreversible. So therefore after boiling an enzyme it will no longer function.
This process is called denaturation. It can be caused by acids, bases, organic solvents, or heat. When denaturation occurs, it changes the shape of the protein. Since form follows function, a protein's function is disabled if it no longer has the form required to carry out its tasks.
