Question

Protein denaturation results in:

• A. change of primary structure
• B. change of secondary structure
• C. change of tertiary structure
• D. change in both secondary and tertiary structures

Answer 1

The correct option is D change in both secondary and tertiary structures

Protein denaturation:- 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.
