What conditions usually do not cause denaturation?
|
|
Extreme heat
|
|
|
Extreme pH
|
|
|
Dissolving in water
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -addition of water will not cause denaturation of protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protein denaturation disrupts the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of structure. Only primary structure is unaffected by denaturation.
Detailed explanation-3: -A wide variety of reagents and conditions, such as heat, organic compounds, pH changes, and heavy metal ions can cause protein denaturation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins become denatured due to some sort of external stress, such as exposure to acids, bases, inorganic salts, solvents, or heat. Some proteins can regain their lost structure after they’re denatured; this is a process called renaturation.
