Answer:

To lose its function

Explanation:

Denaturation of macromolecules such as  proteinc or nucleic acid, means that they lose their quaternary structure, tertiary structure, and secondary structure under the influence of a certain factor. The factors that can lead to denaturation are external stress, strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt,  radiation or heat. The consequence of denaturation is loss of biological activity for example, loss of the catalytic ability of an enzyme.
