Biochemists working with proteins use a diverse set of treatments to analyze protein sequences. Denaturing agents unfold proteins. Some denaturing agents are reversible, and allow the proteins to be renatured after the procedure. A strong________ solution is a common reversible denaturant. Additional treatment with____________completely denatures proteins that contain disulfide bonds.
