|
|
Breaking of the peptide bonds between amino acid in the primary sequence
|
|
|
Breaking of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonds, and disulfide bonds between R groups
|
|
|
Disruption of the hydrogen bonds between the amino hydrogen and carboxyl oxygen atoms in the peptide backbone
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -addition of water will not cause denaturation of protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation refers to the physical changes that take place in a protein exposed to abnormal conditions in the environment. Heat, acid, high salt concentrations, alcohol, and mechanical agitation can cause proteins to denature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Process of Denaturation of Proteins Heating, exposure to acids or bases and even violent physical action can cause denaturation to occur.
