1.	Which of the statements about "Denaturation" given below are correct: Statements: (a) Denaturation of proteins causes loss of secondary and tertiary structures of the protein (b) Denaturation leads to the cnversation of double strand DNA into single strand Denaturation affects primary structure which gets distorted
Answer» (a),(B) and (c ) (b) and (c ) (a) and (c ) (a) and (b) Solution :When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in temperature of chemical change like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds between base pairs are disturbed. Due to this, globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called denaturationof protein. During DENATURATION `2^(@)` and `3^(@)` structures are DESTROYED but `1^(@)` structure remains INTACT.
