Some of the things that disrupt the three dimensional structure (or confirmation) of a protein are:
- Extremes of pH
- Very high temperatures
- Repeated freezing and thawing
- Placing the protein in an organic solvent (only if the protein has a hydrophobic interior)
- Placing the protein in a high salt solution

High heat can denature a protein, altering its structure and function. Harsh chemicals can also break down protein molecules, disrupting their interactions and leading to their degradation.
