DEF

[The process of] modifying the molecular structure of a protein.

OBS

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.

CONT

En biochimie, la dénaturation est une altération de la structure moléculaire d'une protéine qui rend celle-ci non fonctionnelle. Elle est un changement structurel des protéines ou des acides nucléiques où ils perdent leur structure native et, de cette manière, leur fonctionnement optimal et modifient parfois leurs propriétés physico-chimiques.
