Question

What are the structural changes found during denaturation of proteins?

Answer 1

Answer:

Denaturation of proteinsinvolves the disruption and possible destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structures. Since denaturationreactions are not strong enough to break the peptide bonds, the primarystructure (sequence of amino acids) remains the same after a denaturationprocess.As indicated by Lewis structures, which of the following species could probably not exist as a stable molecule?

Answer 2

Answer:

Denaturation of Proteins

Introduction :

Denaturation of proteins involves the disruption and possible destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structures. Since denaturation reactions are not strong enough to break the peptide bonds, the primary structure (sequence of amino acids) remains the same after a denaturation process. Denaturation disrupts the normal alpha-helix and beta sheets in a protein and uncoils it into a random shape.

Denaturation occurs because the bonding interactions responsible for the secondary structure (hydrogen bonds to amides) and tertiary structure are disrupted. In tertiary structure there are four types of bonding interactions between "side chains" including: hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, disulfide bonds, and non-polar hydrophobic interactions. which may be disrupted. Therefore, a variety of reagents and conditions can cause denaturation. The most common observation in the denaturation process is the precipitation or coagulation of the protein.
