D) ionic interactions.
E) hydrophobic interactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Denaturation of a protein involves the disruption of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, which are stabilized by various weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions. However, peptide bonds, which form the backbone of proteins, are not affected by denaturation.
