When a protein denatures,what type of bonding is affected?
A) covalent
B) peptide
C) ionic
D) hydrogen
E) metallic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a protein undergoes denaturation, the weak hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues are disrupted, causing the protein's shape to unravel. This means that the tertiary and quaternary structures of the protein are disrupted because these structures rely heavily on hydrogen bonds. Other types of bonding, such as covalent, peptide, ionic or metallic, are less affected by denaturation.
