Question

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

Proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids which are linked by the peptide linkages. A peptide bond covalently links the carboxyl group of one amino acid and an amino group of another amino acid by releasing one molecule of water (H₂O).

Label the given bonds whether they occurs in protein hydrolysis or protein denaturation.

Fundamentals

Protein hydrolysis involves the breakdown of the proteins inti individual amino acids in the presence of water. This process involves the breakdown of the bonds, which join two amino acids. Protein denaturation is a process in which the biological structure of a protein is disrupted into its inactive form. This involves disruption of several interactions involved in the formation of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of a protein.

The bond between two amino acids in a protein is the amide bond. The reaction for the hydrolysis of peptide or amide bond is given as:

Protein has primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. The process of denaturation is involved with the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of a protein. In this process the proteins lose their secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures and come to the inactive state. These structures have weak interactions that can be disrupted by a change in temperature, pH, and by using detergents. The protein denaturation is as follows:
