Denaturation is the major change in protein or nucleic acid structure by application of some external stress for example, treatment of proteins with strong acids or bases, high concentrations of inorganic salts or organic solvents (e.g.

denaturation
For proteins, a process in which a protein unravels and loses its native conformation, thereby becoming biologically inactive. For DNA, the separation of the two strands of the double helix.
Denaturation of DNA or RNA
Separation of the two strands of a double-stranded DNA or RNA molecule by disrupting the hydrogen bonds that join the complementary bases from the two opposite strands, usually by heat or alkali.
Denaturation - of DNA - conversion from double stranded to single stranded form, often by heating sometimes by treatment with alkali. - of protein - treatment which destroys the tertiary structure of a protein.

Denaturation occurs when the normal bonding patterns are disturbed causing the shape of the protein to change. This can be caused by changes in temperature, pH, or salt concentration.

Denaturation: Reversible disruption of hydrogen bonds between nucleotides converting a double-stranded DNA molecule to single-stranded molecules. Heating or strong alkali treatment result in denaturation of DNA.
Denaturation A disruption in the native conformation of a macromolecule that causes a loss of normal function.
denaturation Disruption of bonds holding a protein in its three-dimensional form, such that its polypeptide chain(s) unfolds partially or completely. Denaturation can be caused by changes in pH, salt concentration, or environmental temperature.

DenaturationSeparation of two complementary strands of nucleic acid by breakage of the hydrogen bonds involved in base pairing. This is necessary prior to probe hybridisation and most methods involving enzymic DNA synthesis on a DNA template e.g.
The instrument automatically processes 8 templates through reaction, purification, denaturation, preconcentration, injection, separation and detection in a parallel fashion.
This denaturation/blotting procedure is known as a "Southern blot" after the inventor, Edwin Southern.
