Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA-binding proteins protect DNA from denaturation by binding to the DNA and preventing the strands from separating or breaking apart. This is a common mechanism used by bacteria and archaea growing at extreme pH or temperature to maintain the stability of their genome. Okazaki fragments, pseudogenes, introns, and ligase are not directly involved in protecting DNA from denaturation.
