Q. By which of the following the tertiary structure of proteins can be destroyed?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Tertiary structures can usually be destroyed (called denaturation) by heating a protein, treating with high energy radiation or changing the solvent environment (pH, salt content, organic content, etc.) in which the protein is dissolved. When the characteristic structure of a protein molecule in its physiological environment is lost, the protein's normal function is lost too.
