Try like 1/4 of a cup and let me know what happens. That’s a good ass question, I’m not sure why it’s not posted, and quite frankly I forget. Try like 1/4 of a cup and let me know what happens.

One type of denaturing simply weakens the bonds between the molecules, which as Dylan says, actually makes the amino acids MORE bioavailable. Many times a denaturing effect allows increase enzymatic reactions, which makes it easier to break down the proteins. That is a good thing. Another type of denaturing is when a chemical reaction actually changes the structure of the protein in such a way that the protein can no longer function the way it was designed. In this case the protein becomes useless. That is most simple way I can put it. Here, I just found a good resource for more info on denaturing proteins: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/568denaturation.html Denaturing can actually mean a couple different things.

Otherwise, whenever you broiled, say, a steak, there would be no protein. this is obviously not true. Steve (and anyone else who reads that comment):

I don't see a reason to worry about cooking protein. It just doesn't matter as much as some people would lead you to believe.
