Disruption of the native conformation of a protein by changing its environment like PH value, temperature etc. resulting into loss of its biological activity is called denaturation of proteins. During denaturation, secondary and tertiary structures get destroyed while primary structure remains same e.g., coagulation of egg albumin by boiling.
What is denaturation of proteins? Explain with examples.
