When most biological enzymes are heated, they lose their catalytic activity. This process is called denaturing. The change original enzyme →→ new form that occurs on heating is endothermic and spontaneous. Is the structure of the original enzyme or its new form more ordered (has the smaller positional probability) ? Explain.

    According to what was stated, any protein against an extreme heat source or intense heat suffers denaturation, this process presents different degrees according to how intense the heat input was.

    That a protein is denatured in the body can be lethal, since most of the enzymes in our body are proteins or protein structures, and once they are denatured they change their chemical structure, their binding and allosteric sites and do not fulfill their function.

    Although there are some enzymes that, when faced with temperature changes that are not so bright, acquire an ordered structure, and an improved version, making it not react with certain compounds but with others, thus giving different results ...

    Explanation:

    My stance on this and my answer is that it is the new ordered form of the enzyme against a different degree of heat.
