On the mechanism of Urea-induced protein denaturation

It is well known that folded proteins in water are destabilized by the addition of urea. When a protein loses its ability to perform its biological activity due to a change in its structure, it is said to denaturate. The mechanism by which urea denatures proteins has been thoroughly studied in the p...
