STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This is a structural change in a protein that results in the loss of its biological properties.
A
Denaturation
B
Deproteination
C
Amino acidation
D
Naturation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the denaturation of proteins, the secondary and tertiary structures get destroyed and only the primary structure is retained. Covalent bonds are broken and interaction between amino-acid chains gets disrupted. This results in the loss of biological activity of the proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The native structure of a protein may be disrupted by denaturation, resulting in loss of its higher-order structure and its biological function.

Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Denaturation of proteins causes loss of secondary and tertiary structures of the protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Denaturation is a process in which proteins lose their shape and, therefore, their function because of changes in pH or temperature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Denaturation is described as the change in the structure and function of a protein.
