Chapter 21, Problem 51A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The breakdown of a protein’s tertiary structure and secondary structure needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Proteins are stabilized due there linkages and bond interaction. The change in the stability of the structure of the protein is called denaturation.

Secondary structure is made of the pleated sheets, and the Tertiary structure is formed by the folding of the secondary structure of proteins.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 51A

Denaturation is the process where the breakdown of protein’s tertiary and secondary structure occurred.

Explanation of Solution

In the denaturation process other than the primary structure of proteins secondary, tertiary, and quaternary proteins structure changed. This is the process where the breakdowns of the complex structures of proteins take place.

Conclusion

The change in the protein structure from the complex level to a simpler level is coming under the denaturation process.

The secondary and tertiary structures of proteins are the types of folded and complex form.
