Test your understanding of the term denaturation by deciding which of the following statements are true Protein denaturation involves cleavage of its peptide bonds. A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state. Soaking fish in lime juice (pH 2.3) to make ceviche denatures the proteins. Denaturation and digestion refer to the same process. Egg white meringue (made by beating egg whites) contains denatured proteins. Cooking an egg hydrolyzes its albumin. Digestive enzymes hydrolyze proteins.Explanation / Answer
