Question

When a functional globular protein is boiled, it undergoes coagulation and completely loses its biological activity. During this specific denaturation process, which structural level remains entirely intact?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Denaturation involves the violent disruption of weak stabilizing forces leading to the complete loss of 2° and 3° structures. The strong covalent peptide bonds dictating the 1° primary sequence remain entirely unbroken.
