What is a native protein?
- proteins often have a 3D structure
- makes it possible
for many proteins to
be crystallised
- fibrous proteins = elongated shape
- heating converts globular
proteins from their folded,
native form to a less
ordered denatured state.
- example - heating an egg.
- proteins of egg white become unfolded and tangled.
- biochemical activity of
proteins is destroyed by
heating
