Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub
Which of the statements about "Denaturation" given below are correct?
(a) Denaturation of proteins causes loss of secondary and tertiary structures of the protein.
(b) Denaturation leads to the conversion of double strand of DNA into single strand.
(c) Denaturation affects primary structure which gets distorted
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
Identify the correct statements regarding the effects of Denaturation on the structural integrity of proteins and DNA molecules.
Concept:
This question is based on denaturation of Protein structure and DNA structure.
Solution:
Denaturation involves the disruption of non-covalent interactions (like hydrogen bonds). In proteins, this destroys the secondary and tertiary structures while leaving the primary structure (peptide bonds) intact. In DNA, denaturation breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs, separating the double strand into two single strands.
Final Answer: Option (C)
