Denaturation is when the helix structure of the protein breaks apart. The bonds are broken causing the strands to separate and unravel. This is caused by the following five factorsTemperature-cooking a steakAgitation-whisking egg whitesAcidity-Making sour cream and yoghurtEnzymes-marinating meatsSalt-Cooking eggs with salted water

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The process that causes a protein to lose its shape is known as denaturation. Denaturation is usually caused by external stress on the protein, such as solvents, inorganic salts, exposure to acids or bases, and by heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary structure, such as the sequence of amino acids held together by covalent peptide bonds, is not disrupted by denaturation.
Detailed explanation-3: -And the important bonds present in protein is, hydrogen bond, peptide bond, disulphide bond and ionic bond. During the denaturation of proteins, there is a breakage of so many weak bonds like hydrogen bonds, which will take place. And these denatured proteins have more random structure and it is insoluble.
