To explain: Role of urea in denaturing the proteins.
Introduction: A long chain of amino-acids joined by peptide bond is known as proteins. The physical or chemical agents that can be used to stimulate the unfolding of the polypeptide chain are called denaturants. Urea is an important denaturant used to denature the proteins.
Explanation of Solution
Urea is an organic compound generally used for protein denaturation. It has the ability to form hydrogen bonds. It can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor due to its
