Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Denaturation by contact with air may happen at any stage of specimen preparation. Denaturation at the air-water interface is completely avoided when the complex is plunge-frozen on a substrate of hydrophilized graphene.
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: -Elevated temperatures, extremes in pH, and changes in chemical or physical environment can all lead to protein denaturation.
