1.5.3 Classify proteins by shape and function and describe their reactions, including denaturation.

Why this video

Explains how changes in environmental factors lead to protein denaturation, while highlighting the general relationship between protein shape and function.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It leaves out the formal classification of proteins into globular and fibrous forms, conjugated protein groups, and chemical precipitation reactions.

Heads up

Taught at an introductory biology level, so it does not cover specific chemical denaturants such as urea, guanidinium, or reducing agents.
