Protein Denaturation Factor Effect on Protein A. Heat 1. Disrupts ionic bonds B. pH change 2. Breaks hydrogen bonds C. Organic solvents 3. Disrupts hydrophobic interactions D. Heavy metals 4. Interferes with disulfide bonds
Options
- AA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Heat (A) breaks hydrogen bonds (II) leading to protein denaturation. pH change (B) disrupts ionic bonds (I) by altering the charge of acidic and basic groups. Organic solvents (C) disrupt hydrophobic interactions (III) within the protein core. Heavy metals (D) interfere with disulfide bonds (IV), leading to protein denaturation.
