During the denaturation of proteins, which of these structures will remain intact ?

Options

  1. APrimary
  2. BSecondary
  3. CTertiary
  4. DQuarternary

Correct answer

A. Primary

Step-by-step solution

Protein structures are made by condensation of amino acids forming peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is called its primary structure. The secondary structure is determined by the dihedral angles of the peptide bonds, the tertiary structure by the folding of protein chains in space.

Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state.

During denaturation 2 ° and 3 ° structures are destroyed but 1 ° structure remains intact
