What happens when you add temperature or heat something up? it melts right ? You heat up ice cube, it became water... u heat up plastic , it melts...

but when u heat up Egg, it becomes harden instead of melt...

Doesn't make sense right? Why when heat up protein it becomes harden leh ? why? So in the case of kebakaran, the firemen just shoot proteins liquid instead of water... will it help? works better than sand right?

When heated, the protiens form crosslinks with one another. Pretty elementary chemistry this is.

Is protein the only substance that will harden when applied heat?

the protein structure has been denatured by heat
i tink coagulation occured, so tats y become harden lor
i oso guessing, forgot jor, hahahaa
eehh, harga telur veli expensive u know

Lol protein liquid to put off fire? Yeah it might work, who knows? But who's going to clean up the mess after that?

maybe with some research, we can have a 'protein-magnet' kind of thing that will suck all the protein in a single shot... so it;s reusable. thumbup.gif

There are all sorts of substances which react differently to heat. To wide to go through one by one.

No, once protein's are denatured, you cannot reuse them. Simply like, you cannot uncook the meat you just cooked.  nod.gif

yeah ! u are right LOL.... we couldn't 'melt' protein.. i guess only human body can convert protein... ok donate to bosnia kids la =P

Conversion of protein is a simple chemical process, certainly not restricted to humans.

just thinking.. is it possible to convert protein back into its original untangled form? using chemical process.
