Which structure of protein remains intact after coagulation of egg...

Which structure of protein remains intact after coagulation of egg white on boiling?

Options

  1. APrimary
  2. BTertiary
  3. CSecondary
  4. DQuaternary

Correct answer

A. Primary

Step-by-step solution

When an egg is boiled, the soluble globular protein, albumin present in it is converted to insoluble fibrous protein. 

During denaturation, its biological activity is lost. Boiling an egg causes denaturation of its protein resulting in loss of its quaternary, tertiary and secondary structures.

But the primary structure (representing the sequence of α\alpha amino acids) remains intact.

Hence option A is the answer.
