Asked by Andrew
Have two quick questions...
Why does denatured protein precipitate? (when heated, why does it give that poached egg look? I know heat denatures protein, but why does it look like that? something to do with bonds?)
And also... why does protein denature in heat?
Thanks!

Basically, the protein loses its structure; therefore, its physical and chemical characteristics.
