Question

Why do you think different proteins denature at different temperatures?

Please make it a small response. :)

Answer 1

Answer: Why do proteins denature at different temperatures? Protein structures are held together by a range of interactions, including hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. As the temperature increases, these bonds can be broken, and even the covalent bonds will be destroyed at high enough temperatures.

Answer 2

The denaturing temperature is (at least partially) controlled by the number and coordination of intra-molecular electrostatic interaction (H-bonds, stacking effects). The tertiary structure determines which H-bonds will exist - and vice versa; it is not appropriate to distinguish cause and effect here.
