Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the statement is FALSE?
A
Extreme changes in acidity or alkalinity of the solution denatures the enzymes
B
Denaturation can be reversible under optimum temperature
C
Denaturing can occur because of heat, acid or base.
D
Denaturation means that the rate of reaction is reduced
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein denaturation is said to be irreversible when the denatured state achieved by increasing temperature or by using chemical denaturants is unable to return to the native, biologically functional state upon removal of the factor that caused denaturation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The wrong statement about the denaturation of proteins is fibrous proteins are converted into globular proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -In many cases, denaturation is reversible. Since the primary structure of protein is intact, once the denaturing influence is removed, proteins can regain their native state by folding back to the original conformation. This process is called renaturation.

Detailed explanation-4: -In many cases, denaturation is reversible (the proteins can regain their native state when the denaturing influence is removed). This process can be called renaturation.
