Biological molecules are functionally active only within a narrow range of environmental conditions.Which of the following will NOT cause denaturation in biological molecules?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Refrigeration slows down molecular motion but does not cause denaturation of biological molecules. A dramatic increase in temperature can cause denaturation by disrupting weak bonds, changes in ionic strength can affect charge interactions, and the addition of strong acid or base can disrupt pH-sensitive interactions in biological molecules, all leading to denaturation.
