Which of the following statements about proteins is true?
A) Denaturation leads to bond disruption, and the molecule turns into liquid.
B) Denaturation is always irreversible.
C) Final folded structure can reveal the steps of protein folding.
D) Some proteins form a complete 3-D structure only when they interact with their targets.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denaturation of proteins involves the unfolding and disorganization of a protein's structure, not necessarily turning it into a liquid or being always irreversible. The final folded structure of a protein does not reveal the steps of its folding process. However, some proteins indeed achieve their functional three-dimensional structure only upon interacting with specific target molecules, a process known as induced fit.
