Solution
The structure of a protein that is unaffected by heating is primary structure.
Explanation:
Protein's primary structure is unaffected by either physical or chemical modifications.
Since, primary structure of protein is straight chain of amino acids which are held together by covalent peptide bond and is not disrupted on heating.
As a result of the helix uncoiling and globules spreading out during heating, secondary and tertiary structures are damaged.
