<li>Mutarotation refers to the rapid interconversion of anomers (α and β forms) of a hemiacetal or hemicetal in solution.</li>
<li>It involves the breaking and reforming of glycosidic bond, resulting in the equilibration between α and β anomers.</li>
<li>It occurs in a cyclic process, starting from α or β form and converting back to a mixture of both forms.</li>
<li>Mutarotation affects the optical rotation and physical properties of carbohydrates.</li>
<li>For example, glucose exists in α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose forms, which can interconvert through mutarotation.</li>

<li>The secondary structure of a protein refers to the local folding patterns within the polypeptide chain.</li>
<li>The two most common secondary structures are alpha helix and beta sheet.</li>
<li>Alpha helix is a right-handed coil stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the amino acid backbone.</li>
<li>Beta sheet is formed by hydrogen bonds between separate segments of the polypeptide chain.</li>
<li>Secondary structure gives proteins their characteristic shape and stability.</li>

<li>Denaturation refers to the disruption of the protein’s native structure, leading to loss of its biological activity.</li>
<li>Denaturation can be caused by various factors, including heat, pH extremes, and chemical denaturants.</li>
<li>Denatured proteins often lose their secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures.</li>
<li>Examples of denaturation include the coagulation of egg white proteins when heated and the precipitation of proteins in acidic conditions.</li>
