Employees should be aware of the limited reach of hostile work environment claims. Often, employees assume that any adverse working conditions can lead to a hostile work environment claim. However, this is not the case. A claim only arises if the conduct is based on the employeeâs protected class status.
Denaturation is a process in which proteins lose their shape and, therefore, their function because of changes in pH or temperature. Discuss the process of protein denaturation. Proteins change their shape when exposed to different pH or temperatures.
Why do denatured enzymes become disfunctional? An enzyme's ability to function comes from its shape, which is a result of the folding of the amino acid chain that it's made of. Enzymes act on their substrates (just a fancy â¦ word for whatever molecule or chemical or anything that an enzyme acts on) on a certain part of the enzyme called the active site.
