28. Proteins must be in a certain shape to function. If you take it out of its shape, you have denatured it and it can not longer work. Heat and pH can denature a protein. Proteins often change colors when they are denatured. Cooking egg white is an example.

29. Denaturation is when a protein unravels and loses its native conformation (shape) Denaturation Renaturation Denatured proteinNormal protein Figure 5.22
