Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Unfolding of a protein can be termed as ____
A
Renaturation
B
Denaturation
C
Oxidation
D
Reduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Denaturation of proteins is a process of transition from a folded to an unfolded state. It happens in cooking, burns, proteinopathies, and other contexts. The duration of the folding process varies dramatically depending on the protein of interest.

Detailed explanation-2: -It remains true that chemical denaturants, guanidine hydrochloride and urea, are the most generally applicable methods of completely unfolding proteins. Both of these molecules have a low molecular weight and are extremely soluble, such that 6–8 molar concentrations will denature virtually any protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -During protein unfolding, the force exerted by the cantilever is transmitted along the backbone into the membrane protein. The latter is stabilized in its conformation by the interplay between local forces, which in their complexity are represented by the potential energy landscape.

Detailed explanation-4: -The uncoiling of helix structure affects the chemistry of proteins and they lose their biological activity. This phenomenon of losing their activity and uncoiling of helix structure due to physical or chemical changes is called the denaturation of proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins go through a process called denaturation when they go from being folded to being unfolded. It occurs in a variety of situations, including cooking, burns, proteinopathies, and others. Depending on the protein of interest, the folding process might take a very long time.
