Best answer
Denaturation of proteins Proteint in egg white has an unique three dimensional structure. When it is subjected to physical change like change in temperature, i.e., on boiling, coagulation of egg white occurs due to denaturation on protein. During denaturation hydrogen bonds are disturbed due to this globules unfold and helix gets uncoiled and protein losses its biological activity.
