Learning about proteins....

*If we change the protein in eggs into foam by beating we can make meringue..... cookies! The acid in cream of tartar adds structure to the protein strand.
*The four ways to change a protein are: beat it, heat it, add acid or freezing.
*Protein strands are made of a mixture of amino acids. There are a total of 20 amino acids. Not every amino acid is in every strand of protein. The difference in proteins are made by switching the order, length or mixture of amino acids.
