Detailed explanation-1: -Enzyme denaturation happens when the structure of a protein and its functional group undergo conformational changes, resulting in inactivity. Denatured proteins have a looser, more random structure, and the majority of them are insoluble.
Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation is caused by the breaking of the bonds that hold the enzyme together in its three-dimensional shape. Heat can break hydrogen and ionic bonds, which disrupts the shape of the enzyme and will change the shape of the active site.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is denaturing and how does it happen? A protein becomes denatured when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken. Weak hydrogen bonds break when too much heat is applied or when they are exposed to an acid (like citric acid from lemon juice).
Detailed explanation-4: -Denaturation is a process in which proteins lose their shape and, therefore, their function because of changes in pH or temperature.
