Break Proteins in Eggs
Every day, while you cook, clean, and eat, you break (or denature) proteins. Break some proteins on purpose this time, while learning about the importance of protein structure to life.
Do this activity on your own with Breaking Proteins, or learn more about proteins and protein channels in our story and game Venom.
