Denaturants such as urea, SDS, guanidium hydrochloridecan denature proteins. Organic solvent such as alcohol can be also used to denature proteins. A combination of reducing agent DTTor beta-mercaptoethaol with heating at 90 degrees for 5 minutes about will completely kill the three dimensional structure of proetin and make it to its primary structure.

What are four substances that can denature proteins?
maltase
Why doesn't cold temperature denature protein?
It depends on how low the temperature is. For the vast majority of proteins, low temperatures will actually stabilize them (so long as it is above 0 oC). If the temperature gets below 0 oC the protein may denature. Although in most cases, the temperature has to be far below 0.
What is the meaning of denature?
To deprive of its natural qualities; change the nature of.
