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