Proteins undergo hydrolysis and denaturation, which are distinct processes, each having different effects on the structure and function of proteins.

i) Agents causing them:  
- Hydrolysis is typically caused by enzymes (proteases) or acidic or basic conditions. Enzymes such as pepsin or trypsin break peptide bonds between amino acids, leading to the breakdown of proteins. Alternatively, acidic or basic environments can also catalyze the cleavage of peptide bonds.  
- Denaturation is caused by physical agents (such as heat, UV radiation, and mechanical agitation) or chemical agents (such as alcohol, urea, and detergents). __________ _________ _______ _______ _______ _____.
