Question

fill in the blank question

the loss of the normal or native shape of a protein due to chemical or physical disruption of tertiary and or quaternary structure is called protein

Explanation:

Identify the biological process described

The prompt describes the loss of a protein's normal or native three-dimensional shape (tertiary and/or quaternary structure) caused by physical or chemical disruption.

Determine the standard scientific term

The disruption of a protein's native structure without breaking its primary peptide bonds is universally referred to as denaturation. Since the sentence ends with "is called protein", the completing word is "denaturation".

Answer:

The loss of the normal or native shape of a protein due to chemical or physical disruption of tertiary and or quaternary structure is called protein <blank>denaturation</blank>.
