Pepsin is denatured by high warmth or high pH. Bubbling can denature most proteins by for all time change their tertiary and quaternary structures. Bubbling denatured pepsin. I can tell since it delivered indistinguishable outcomes from the control. The protein was not processed in test tube 1, there was no shading change, and the optical thickness was 0.
