Caused by heat alkali or acid treatments or metals and is required before the protein can be digested
Protein denaturation
Protein character is determined by
How the 20 amino acids are combined together in a sequence
What are the 2 types of protein
Fibrous and globular
Characteristics of fibrous protein
Exclusively sheet formation, long and straight
Characteristics of globular protein
Variation is structure, random
Protein functions include
