Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The validation of the substance, heat as a denaturing agent for protein has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The disruption of secondary, tertiary and quaternary structural interactions in a protein results in the partial or complete disorganization of its three-dimensional shape of proteins. This process is known as protein denaturation. The process of denaturation of proteins takes place in the presence of denaturing agents.
(b)
Interpretation: The validation of the substance, ultraviolet radiation as a denaturing agent for protein has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The disruption of secondary, tertiary and quaternary structural interactions in a protein results in the partial or complete disorganization of its three-dimensional shape of proteins. This process is known as protein denaturation. The process of denaturation of proteins takes place in the presence of denaturing agents.
(c)
Interpretation: The validation of the substance, ethanol as a denaturing agent for protein has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The disruption of secondary, tertiary and quaternary structural interactions in a protein results in the partial or complete disorganization of its three-dimensional shape of proteins. This process is known as protein denaturation. The process of denaturation of proteins takes place in the presence of denaturing agents.
(d)
Interpretation: The validation of the substance, strong base as a denaturing agent for protein has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The disruption of secondary, tertiary and quaternary structural interactions in a protein results in the partial or complete disorganization of its three-dimensional shape of proteins.
