And it provides a good example of how heat can change the structure of proteins, Protein are found in both the egg white and yolk and these proteins have different structures
Let’s consider the proteins in an egg white in their native uncooked steak the proteins are chains of amino acids that fold into complex shapes several types of bonds form between amino acids in a chain stabilizing the structure of the proteins. When the bonds linking the amino acids in chains are strong covalent bonds that withstand the heat that stabilize the 3 – dimensional the structure of the proteins are weak bonds
