The function of each protein is a consequence of its specific shape. What is the term used for a change in a protein's three-dimensional shape or conformation due to disruption of hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, or ionic bonds?

Answer: Denaturation

Explanation:

Denaturation is the partial or complete change in conformation of a polypeptide or protein caused by heating or exposure to chemicals and usually resulting in the loss of biological activity due to an irreversible disruption of hydrogen bonds, peptide bond, disulfide bridges, or ionic bonds found in its chains
