Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A permanent change to the shape of a protein caused by the breaking of stabilizing bonds (h bonds) and interactions between R groups of their amino acids.
A
Denaturation
B
Dipeptide
C
Condensation
D
Collagen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The function of a protein is determined by its shape. If the protein’s three-dimensional structure is disrupted due to an alteration in the structure of the amino acids, the protein gets denatured. Due to its denaturation, the protein fails to execute its function as intended.

Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation breaks the intramolecular bonds, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions, that hold the protein in its three-dimensional shape. Without the proper shape, the protein cannot function.
