Denaturation is the process by which a protein loses its native shape due to the disruption of weak interactions within the molecule, often caused by changes in temperature or pH.
congrats on reading the definition of Denaturation. now let's actually learn it.
A measure of acidity or alkalinity; extreme pH values can cause denaturation in proteins.
Heat Shock Proteins: These are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions such as heat, cold, UV light etc., helping prevent denaturation.
