Summary Introduction

To identify:

Affect of boiling in structural and functional properties of protein.

Introduction:

Proteins are organic compounds containing monomer units of amino acid residues. Boiling causes protein to loosen its tertiary and quaternary structure, and affects the ability of protein to perform normal biological functions.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
