Denaturation of Proteins

•   The most stable conformation of a protein at a given temperature and the pH is known as its native state.

•   The loss of biological activity of proteins when a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in temperature or chemical change like change in pH, is called denaturation of protein.

•   For example: (i) Coagulation of egg white on boiling, (ii) curdling of milk which is caused due to the formation of lactic acid by the lactobacillus bacteria present in milk.

Denaturation, in biology, process modifying the molecular structure of a protein. 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.
