Researchers in Japan used computational simulations to show how urea and alcohol induce protein denaturation. Urea interacts with a protein’s main chains and induces coiling, while alcohol interacts ...

A student I tutor is working on a project that focuses on the chemistry of cooking. Specifically, she's researching egg whites and the effects of whipping them. Through advice and experimentation she ...

BLOOD coagulation, which is a special case of protein denaturation, has been found to be a chain reaction by which a new reacting substance is formed 1. By the action of heat on a mono-disperse system ...

Discover how the phosphoric acid in Coca-Cola interacts with milk proteins, creating a dramatic separation effect that turns the dark soda clear. This experiment demonstrates protein denaturation, ...

Controlled heat treatment can provide a powerful and flexible tool to enhance wheat flour for cake production.
