QAIPM-2011-Ch-1802: NEET 2011 Chemistry - Class 12 AIPM-2011-Ch-1802 Solution: Which of the statements about 'Denaturation' given below are…
Which of the statements about 'Denaturation' given below are correct? (1) Denaturation of proteins causes loss of secondary and tertiary structures of the protein. (2) Denaturation leads to the conversion of double strand of DNA into single strand. (3) Denaturation affects primary structure which gets distorted.
Multiple Choice Options
- A (2) and (3)
- B (1) and (3)
- C (1) and (2)
- D (1), (2) and (3)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
When the proteins are subjected to the
action of heat, mineral acids or alkali, the water
soluble form of globular protein changes to water
insoluble fibrous protein. This is called
denaturation of proteins. During denaturation
secondary and tertiary structures of protein
destroyed but primary structures remains intact.
