| Denaturation factors | Type of denaturation | The degree of destruction of structures |
Heating to 40 ° C | reversible | Primary structure saved |
Heating above 40 ° C | irreversible | The primary structure is destroyed |
X-ray radiation | irreversible | The primary structure is destroyed |
Concentrated
solutions of acids and alkalis |
irreversible | The primary structure is destroyed |
Solutions of salts of light metals: Na5 K5 Ca , Mg | reversible | Primary structure saved |
