Question

Which of the following accurately describes the biochemical process of protein denaturation, such as the coagulation of egg white upon boiling?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Denaturation involves changes in pH or temperature that disrupt hydrogen bonds and other stabilizing forces, causing the unfolding of tertiary and secondary structures. Globular proteins often become insoluble and fibrous, while the covalent peptide bonds (primary structure) remain entirely unaffected.
