What conditions usually do not cause denaturation?
|
Extreme heat
|
|
Extreme pH
|
|
Dissolving in water
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -addition of water will not cause denaturation of protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are denatured by treatment with alkaline or acid, oxidizing or reducing agents, and certain organic solvents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Denaturation defines the unfolding or breaking up of a protein, modifying its standard three-dimensional structure. Proteins may be denatured by chemical action, heat or agitation causing a protein to unfold or its polypeptide chains to become disordered typically leaving the molecules non-functional.
Detailed explanation-4: -Protein denaturation disrupts the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure. Only primary structure is unaffected by denaturation.
