Question

which of the following environmental factors can cause a protein to denature? click all that apply. denaturation loss of biological activity regains activity renaturation normal protein denatured protein high salt concentration low temperatures high temperature extreme ph

Explanation:

High salt concentration can disrupt protein - protein and protein - solvent interactions. High temperature can break hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions in proteins. Extreme pH can alter the ionization states of amino - acid residues in proteins, leading to denaturation. Low temperatures generally slow down molecular motion but do not usually denature proteins.

Answer:

High salt concentration, High temperature, extreme pH
