Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (pH changes, heating, mechanical agitation, and detergents) are known methods for denaturing proteins. Denaturation involves altering the structure of a protein, thereby impacting its function, without breaking its peptide bonds. Each of these methods can disrupt the non-covalent bonds that maintain the protein's structure, leading to denaturation.
