Denaturation disrupts the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins.However,denaturation is not strong enough to disrupt what interaction that is relevant to protein structure?
A)hydrogen bonds
B)ionic bonds
C)van der Waals attraction
D)hydrophobic exclusion
E)peptide bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptide bonds are the covalent bonds that link amino acids in a protein chain and are not affected by denaturation. Denaturation primarily disrupts non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, van der Waals attraction, and hydrophobic exclusion.
