Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denaturation of proteins may result in breakage of hydrogen bonds, loss of three-dimensional structure, alteration of enzyme activity and endangerment of a cell's life. However, it does not result in the removal of R groups from amino acids, as the R groups are covalently bonded to the amino acid backbone and cannot be removed by denaturation.
