Detailed explanation-1: -What is the rate of increase for protein Denaturation for each increase in temperature of 10 c? 600 times faster.
Detailed explanation-2: -At temperatures beyond 60 degrees C, protein denaturation leads to aggregation. The protein solution exhibits a fractal structure at temperatures above 64 degrees C, and its fractal dimension increases with temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -If we expose proteins to a temperature of 100° Celsius, we would be putting them in boiling water. As a result, the proteins would be entirely denatured. They would no longer function for their original purpose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Heat increases the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to vibrate more rapidly and violently. The accelerated vibration can disrupt the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, as well as Van der Waals forces, causing the unfolding of protein’s 3D structure and even destroying the ?-helix and the ?-sheets.
