What would happen to a protein if it was exposed to extreme heat?

It would denature. Here's the way I picture it....look at an egg as a protein. In a bowl (uncooked), it has a certain shape and consistency. If you expose that egg to heat, it will change shape and consistency, right? The other thing is that once you cook the egg, you can never get it go back to the shape/condition it was before you cooked it -- you can no longer use it as an ingredient in a cake. It's the same principal with a protein...once you denature it with heat, it is forever changed and therefore, will never function the same way again -- it can never be used as an ingredient to reactions within the body.

∙ 9y agoWhen protein is exposed to extreme heat it will denature. Meaning it can never go back to the condition or shape it was before it was heated up.

What would happen if earth was exposed to the sun for 6 months?
