Question

If a protein is heated to a high temperature, what do you predict would be the most likely effect on the protein?

Answer 1

The protein would fold into a different shape and catalyze a different type of biochemical reaction

Answer 2

i think enzime which react on protein(protease) cannot work because it active side is natural dehydrated.this is because enzime react active in bady temperature. I mean 37 degree celcius.

Answer 3

bady=body

Answer 4

Yeah, this is pretty much correct. Proteins' higher order structures are stabilized by non-bonded interactions. These are weak bonds because they are easily broken with small inputs of energy. When you heat a protein, all those bonds are disrupted - so it loses its shape and hence its ability to catalyze the reaction.
