 "A protein becomes denatured when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken. Weak hydrogen bonds break when too much heat is applied or when they are exposed to an acid (like citric acid from lemon juice)."

 "Denaturation destroys the primary structure of the protein, and the protein breaks down to monomers. Different amino acids are substituted into the sequence, so the protein's properties change. The protein's pH changes, and the change causes the protein to lose its functionality."

hmmm

 usually it also cross-links as you may know the BCAA acronym, this is caused by hydrolysis of a protein, incomplete hydrolysis can leave fragments that are toxic or an unfortunate crosslinking can sause toxicity also, but in general, acid or base denaturing is fine so long as it completes, the result is raw amino acids in various states of solubility

 haha, idk what to say, if you can't recognise a human response then that's kinda messed up

high intelligence may seem like something great to you when you don't have it but believe me it's just as much of a pain as a giant penis or foot long hands or being 7 foot tall
