When a protein is denatured, secondary and tertiary structures are altered but the peptide bonds of the primary structure between the amino acids are left intact. Since all structural levels of the protein determine its function, the protein can no longer perform its function once it has been denatured.
When a protein has been denatured it has?
Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state. Denatured proteins have a looser, more random structure; most are insoluble.
Are some proteins resistant to being denatured?
Fortunately, most major plasma proteins are relatively resistant to denaturation and can be assayed in samples that have been handled carefully and have been kept away from elevated temperatures. However, separation of plasma or serum from the blood cells by centrifugation should be performed as early as possible.
