X-rays, or chemicals. These changes include loss of activity (in the case of enzymes) and loss (or alteration) of antigenicity (in the case of antigens).Addition of a substance to alcohol that makes it toxic and unfit for human consumption but usually does not interfere with its use for other purposes.Proteins and nucleic acids undergo a complex process where they lose their higher-order structures, including the tertiary and secondary structures, resulting in an unfolded state."}
