Denaturation Of Proteins: Causes, Features, And Biological Impact

Denaturation Of Proteins: Causes, Features, And Biological Impact

Question 1. Denaturation of Proteins.
Answer:

• It is the phenomenon of the disorganization of native protein structures.

Denaturation of Proteins Agents:

1. Physical agents.
   • Heat
   • Violent shaking
   • X-rays
   • UV radiation.
2. Chemical agents.
   • Acids
   • Alkalis
   • Organic solvents.
   • Urea.
   • Salicylate.

Denaturation of Proteins Features:

• Irreversible process
• Results in loss of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure with primary structure intact.
• The native structure is lost.
• Biological activity is lost.
• Protein becomes insoluble.
• society increases
• Surface tension decreases.
• Sulfhydryl groups and the ionicity of proteins increase.
• Digestion becomes easy.
• It cannot be crystalline.

Question 2. What are conjugated proteins? Give examples.
Answer:

Conjugated Proteins:

• Along with amino acids, if a protein contains a non-protein component/prosthetic group, it is known as a conjugated protein.

Examples:

Question 3. Biologically important peptides.

Question 4. How is creating P synthesized?
