Denaturation of a Protein is Always Permanent

Question

Denaturation of a protein is always permanent.

Accepted Answer

Denaturation of a protein is not always permanent. In some cases, denatured proteins can regain their original shape and function through a process called renaturation. However, in other cases, denaturation can be irreversible and lead to loss of function. The outcome depends on several factors such as the severity of denaturation, the protein's structural stability, and the surrounding environment.
