True about denaturation of protein is all except______________?

Correct answer: D. Biological activity is retained

  • A. Unfolding occurs
  • B. Disruption of secondary structure occurs
  • C. Sequence of amino acids remain the same
  • D. Biological activity is retained

Explanation

Denaturation unfolds a protein and disrupts its secondary and higher-order structures, while usually leaving the amino-acid sequence intact. Loss of native structure generally causes loss of biological activity, so retained activity is the exception.
