denaturation occurs when the protein is exposed to, among other things, abnormal pH levels or high temperatures, that cause the protein to change its shape, or conformation, rendering it unable to perform its function, as the previous posters said.

Proteins are chains of amino acids. The order of the amino acids ascertain the kind of protein. those chains of amino acids are then curled up right into a particular globular structure. a lifeless ringer for a curled up string. the shape is held mutually by hydrogen bonds. even as proteins are literally not on the perfect temperature (typically too warm) those bonds destroy and the 'string' unravels. it truly is a denatured protein that could now not carry out this is function.

Denturation means that the "active" site/structure of the protein has been destroyed because of extrinsic factors like pH and temperature; thereby rendering the protein unable to react.

protein denaturation is simply the loss of stucture of the protein.

breakdown of a structure of protien due to ph, or temperature change there are other things that cause it but these are the main ones when protien structure is changed it can no longer bind and thus preform its many uses
