Denaturation of proteins:

When an egg is heated, the proteins (mainly albumin) undergo denaturation — a process in which the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures are disrupted while the primary structure (sequence of amino acids connected by peptide bonds) remains intact.

What happens during denaturation:
- Hydrogen bonds stabilizing -helix and -sheet structures break
- Disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions are disrupted
- The protein unfolds and loses its native 3D shape
- Th
