They begin to "denature" or decompose to a certain extent. This breaking down of the protein structure cause it to lose shape. It also restricts it from functioning properly and often interferes with other protein processes.

Can spores be killed when exposed to steam sterilization and high temperature?

Yes, spores can be effectively killed when exposed to steam sterilization at high temperatures, typically around 121-132°C (250-270°F). The high temperature and pressure of steam sterilization are able to denature and destroy the spores' genetic material and proteins, rendering them nonviable.


What is the protein denaturation temperature and how does it affect the structure and function of proteins?

Protein denaturation temperature is the temperature at which a protein loses its natural shape and function. When proteins are exposed to high temperatures, their structure unfolds and they lose their ability to perform their biological functions. This can lead to a loss of enzyme activity and disrupt the protein's overall function in the body.


When does proteins precipitate?

Protein molecules are stabilized its structure by various non covalent interactions. When proteins exposed to advers pH or temperature (high or low) that are not favorable to its stability, they precipitate out from the buffer. The precipitated proteins generally lose its biological activity.


How can a high temperature damage your body?

If you were to look at the microbiology aspect of the human body, high temperatures (above 105) do not allow all the proteins in your body to form correctly. Proteins in high temperatures start to denature or unfold and cannot perform properly. Not to mention that if you are exposed to high temps for a long period of time you would get extremely dehydrated. If you've been seriously dehydrated then you know how bad that can be.

Does frying an egg make the egg turn it to a solid?

Proteins become denatured (irreversable uncoiled and unbent) when exposed to high temperatures, extreme pH's and many other factors. When the egg is cooked (exposed to high temperatures) the proteins denature and become rigid. Since denaturation is irreversable, you cannot uncook an egg.

When proteins are placed in extreme pH and temperature conditions they will unwind and change shape or what?

It's called Denaturing. This results in unfolding and inactivated their three dimensional structure is altered, but their primary structure remains intact. Proteins vary greatly especially under high temperatures.
