PROTEIN DENATURATION

It is the net effect of alterations in the biological, chemical, and physical properties of the protein by mild disruption of its structure.

• Protein Denaturation

• Enzyme Action

• Coconut Milk

• Chemistry

These are some of the factors that influence the shape of a protein EXCEPT ONE:

• Temperature

• pH

• salinity

• glucose

It involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural state.

• Proteins

• Denaturation

• Acid

• Renaturation

These are large molecules found in our bodies and food, consisting of many smaller components called amino acids.

• Acids

• Oxygen Atom

• Hydrogen

• Proteins

Protein molecules deform and unravel when exposed to _________.

• hydrogen

• Acid

• oxygen

• water

When a solution of a protein is boiled, the protein frequently becomes _______.

• broken

• insoluble

• soluble

• cool

In some instances the original structure of the protein can be regenerated; the process is called ___________.

• renaturation

• denaturation

• hydrogen bond

• amino acid

Denaturation _______ involve identical changes in protein molecules.

• does not

• does

• sometimes

• always

Because proteins’ function is dependent on their shape, denatured proteins are _______.

• functional

• no longer functional

• weak

• strong

During cooking the applied heat causes proteins to _________.

• spread

• vibrate

• disappear

• multiply
