A high fever causes an enzyme to lose its three dimensional structure and function.Which bonds are broken when a protein denatures?
A) non-polar covalent bonds
B) polar covalent bonds
C) ionic bonds
D) hydrogen bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denaturation of proteins typically involves the disruption of hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues, leading to the loss of the protein's three-dimensional structure and function. Non-polar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, and ionic bonds are generally much stronger and are not typically disrupted by changes in temperature or chemical conditions.
