Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Functions of Denaturation At the level of the biological system, denaturation is used by the body to kill pathogens. It does so through pH regulation and biochemical secretions. Denaturation is also important during food digestion. Proteins in food are denatured by the action of the released digestive enzymes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation breaks the covalent bonds that hold the protein in its three-dimensional shape. Without the proper shape, the protein cannot function. Denaturation destroys the primary structure of the protein, and the protein breaks down to monomers.
