Denaturation

The process in which the folding structure of a protein is changed due to exposure to a chemical or physical factors causing the protein to become inactive.

An egg represents denaturation as when its cooked, some of its proteins become denatured, furthermore, causing a boiled egg to become hard. The heating of the egg is the physical factor that changes the protein.
