water might, but it depends, are you talking purified normal pH water or something else? There are some enzymes whose normal function may be at very basic or acid pH, which might be denatured by neutral water. Your premise may not be accurate.

Will phosphorylation denature a protein?

Phosphorylation typically does not denature a protein. Phosphorylation is a reversible modification where a phosphate group is added to a protein, often regulating its function, structure, or localization within the cell. However, extreme or incorrect phosphorylation can lead to protein misfolding and dysfunction.


An acid can denature a protein by?

Amino acid denatured or degraded the components of protein to start life processes.


Is a smaller protein easier to denature than a larger one?

No. The larger the protein, the more fragile it is and the easier it will be denatured.

What other methods to denature protein?

Other methods to denature proteins include exposure to heat, changes in pH (acid or base), exposure to organic solvents, and mechanical agitation. These methods disrupt the protein's structure, leading to loss of function and potential unfolding of the protein.
