WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE BODY IF PROTEINS OR ENZYMES LOST THEIR
CONFORMATIONS OR WERE DENATURED?

If it is irreversibly denatured, it is typically marked for degradation by another series of enzymes called "Ubiquitin Ligases." These enzymes attack a small protein called ubiqutin to the unfolded protein, and the cell trafficks the dead protein to a complex called the proteasome which digests it into amino acids and short polypeptides which can be recycled into new proteins.
