What is the main difference between denaturation and degradation of proteins?
What is the main difference between denaturation and degradation of proteins?
- Denaturation affects the secondary structure, while degradation affects the tertiary structure.
- Denaturation disrupts the quaternary structure, while degradation breaks disulfide bonds.
- Denaturation unfolds the protein without affecting the primary structure, while degradation breaks down the primary structure. (correct)
- Denaturation affects the primary structure, while degradation affects the secondary structure.
