How much time an egg should be boiled without harming the proteins and other nutrients?
The proteins and nutrients in an egg cannot be "harmed". Cooking an egg so that the albumin (the egg white) turns white is caused by the proteins denaturing and changing shape due to the heat. There's absolutely no evidence that this denatured protein has any different effect on the human body than the raw egg white. Boiling an egg will not appreciably affect its nutritional content. More of concern should be that the egg is cooked thoroughly to destroy foodborne pathogens such as E. Coli and Salmonella. Contracting food poisoning from uncooked foods is a far greater danger than any postulated "loss of nutrients" from boiling an egg too long!

Effect of heat on leafy vegetables?
Yes. Heat can destroy nutrients in all vegetables. The only vegetable, also known as a fruit, that does not loose nutrients is tomatoes. The longer the vegetables are cooked, the more nutrients are lost. The nutrients are lost through the water its steamed in, and the steam itself. Raw is best, but if you must cook them, cook until slightly tender, where some nutrients are still there.
