How are proteins denatured?

Open in App

Solution

When proteins are subjected to change in temperature, (or) chemical change like change in $p H$ , hydrogen bonds are disturbed.
Due to this; globules unfold and helix gets uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity.
This is how denaturation of proteins takes place.
