Cooking an egg will significantly reduce the protein levels. This is why most nutritionists will recommend taking raw eggs once in a while.

Why is cooking a egg is chemical reactions?
Cooking an egg is a chemical reaction because of how the proteins of the egg change through the heating process. The heating of the egg white, for example, converts the amino acids to a different protein arrangement that is of bound texture.
How do you cook eggs in RuneScape?
you can by using a boll on egg and then a range (at level 13 cooking)
What is the name of the protein found in egg white?
Essentially, the chemical composition of the egg white is being changed by the heat provided by the cooking process.
Is it true that egg white is an incomplete protein because the methionine amino acid is missing?
No it isn't an incomplete protein. Egg whites are just albumin protein that has been denatured by the heat of cooking. They are still whole proteins, they are just in a different conformation than their original form.
Should you drink eggs to get protein?
Eggs are a great source of protein, but drinking them raw can put you at risk for salmonella. I would suggest cooking them. For low fat but high protein option, eat egg whites.
How is egg protein different from meat protein?
Egg protein gives off less protein then meat protein.
What does protein denaturation do to the levels of protein structure?
Protein denaturation will do nothing to the primary level (sequence ,kind and number of amino acid)(unchanged) but denaturation will change the secondary tertiary and quaternary levels.........but after a while they will come back to its original form or they will reform called denaturation...... BUT if the primary level is changed(peptide bond also called amino bond is broken) the protein can never reform or can not come back to its original shape. ....it is called coagulation....eg cooking meat cooking egg.. after cooking egg ...can egg reform? no,so it is coagulation a PERMANENT change in 3 dimensional shape of protein......caused by breaking the peptide bond in PRIMARY level....This is a high level I hope I didnt confuse anyone. thanks for paying attention.

How much time a egg should be boiled without harming the protein and other nutrients?
You can't "harm" the protein or nutrients in an egg. Cooking the egg enough so that the egg white turns white causes the albumin protein to denature, or rearrange, because of the heat. The nutritional properties are not affected. You should be more concerned that your egg is cooked thoroughly enough to kill any food borne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. Coli.
Why does an egg cook faster when there is more hot water?
Salt - an impurity - elevates the boiling point of water. Egg will be cooking at a temperature higher than 100 degrees celsius.Denaturation of protein/cooking of egg will occur in less time.
Is there protein in egg whites?
Yes there is protein in egg whites.
How much protein in 1 fried egg?
There are 5.3g of fat and and 6.3g of protein in one large(50g) egg. Despite the high cholesterol level(212mg) eggs are not unhealthy if eaten moderately. They hold many health benefits too.
What dishes illustrate protein denaturation and how?
Protein denaturation is the process by which proteins lose their three dimensional structure. This makes them easier to digest. One example of this is cooking an egg white. The coagulation of the denaturing proteins causes the change in color from clear to opaque.
