Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The loss of a protein’s structure is called ____
A
Denaturation
B
Unfolding
C
Coiling
D
Inactivation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Denaturation implies the destruction of the tertiary structure of a protein molecule and the formation of random polypeptide chains. Denaturation of proteins is one of the phenomenons that results in the disturbance of stability and structure of the protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -denaturation, in biology, process modifying the molecular structure of a protein. Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state.

Detailed explanation-3: -Denaturation is a process in which proteins lose their shape and, therefore, their function because of changes in pH or temperature.
