|
Denaturation
|
|
|
Degradation
|
|
|
Renaturation
|
|
|
Coagulation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Denaturation is the process of modifying the structure of a molecule from its native structure. As a result of denaturation, molecules lose their properties. On the other hand, coagulation is another process that makes small molecules aggregate and precipitates to the bottom of the solution.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is denaturing and how does it happen? A protein becomes denatured when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken. Weak hydrogen bonds break when too much heat is applied or when they are exposed to an acid (like citric acid from lemon juice).
