They begin to denature (sort of like an egg white turning solid as it is cooked).

What temperature does protein unfold?

It depends on what protein it is. Seriously. Common proteins that are very important to the human body start unfolding at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. That's why a fever at that temperature can become fatal. However, other forms of life create proteins that unfold at radically different temperatures. Some cold-loving bacteria use proteins that start unfolding above -5 degrees Celsius. Some thermophilic bacteria use proteins that don't unfold even at 400 degrees Celsius. What kind of proteins are made and how they fold all depends on what temperature range the organism is adapted to survive at and therefore what temperatures cause the proteins to fold the way they are needed.


Does baking kill viruses?

Yes, a virus only lives in a temperature between 16 degrees celcius and 30 degrees celcius (i think) ...actually, 40 degrees in the correct number. The average human core temp is about 37 deg C. Above that temperature, viral enzymes/proteins will begin to denature.


What is the effect of high temperature on purple cabbage membrane?

The cabbage membrane gets darker as the temperature begins to increase. 65 degrees Celsius and above may cause the membrane proteins to be destroyed, hence the color change.


Optimum temperature of proteins?

The optimum temperatre like the optimum pH is the temperature at which the protein funcions most effectively. At too low a temperature the reaction kinetics do not allow for a fast reaction and at too high a temperature the enzyme changes it shape and so no longer accepts the substrate so easily. It is often assumed that proteins have and optimum temperature of 37 degrees C as this is the core body temperature of a human being. But this is only for the majority of proteins as many have a much higher or lower optimum temperature.
