What is the effect of denaturation on the structure of proteins?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

During denaturation, the protein molecule uncoils from an ordered and specific conformation into a more random conformation. Denaturation does not change the primary structure of protein but results from a rearrangement of secondary and tertiary structures.
