    Answer;

    -When a protein is denatured, the primary structure remains intact, that is the peptide bonds joining amino acids are not broken by denaturing agents.

    Explanation;

    -The function of a protein is absolutely dependent on its three-dimensional structure. A number of agents can disrupt this structure thus denaturing the protein.

    -These agents include; changes in pH, changes in salt concentration, l which alters electrostatic interactions between charged amino acids, changes in temperature (higher temperatures reduce the strength of hydrogen bonds) and finally the presence of reducing agents which break S-S bonds between cysteines.

    None of these denaturing agents breaks peptide bonds, so the primary structure of a protein remains intact when it is denatured.
