True about denaturation of protein is all except______________?
Correct answer: B. Biological activity is retained
- A. Unfolding occurs
- B. Biological activity is retained
- C. Sequence of amino acids remain the same
- D. Disruption of secondary structure occurs
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.
