pH
|
|
|
temperature
|
|
|
ionic strength
|
|
|
all of the above
|
|
|
none of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Due to certain changes in the pH level, temperature, and chemical structure, the hydrogen bonds are disrupted, which results in the unfolding of globular proteins and uncoiling of the helix structure. Thus, the denaturation of proteins takes place, and the secondary and tertiary structures are destroyed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many methods like heat (disrupt bond in protein), acid (change pH of protein), alcohol (break bond of protein) and salt (alter the layer of protein) can denature the protein.
