Thermal effects on tissue exist on a continuum. What are the five degrees (see what I did there?) of tissue effects?--Hyperthermia--Coagulation--Vaporization--Carbonization--Melting
Which thermal effect is employed most frequently?Coagulation
What does it mean to say that tissue has ‘coagulated’?It means the proteins have been denatured
OK, what does it mean to say a protein has been ‘denatured’?It means the protein has been forced out of its native conformation by some sort of applied stress (in this case, heat). Because a protein’s function is inextricably tied to is shape, denatured proteins do not behave as they do in their native form.
Can you give an example of protein denaturation?Consider egg albumin. In its native state, it’s a clear liquid. But if sufficient heat is applied, it becomes a white solid. (And if sufficient salsa is applied to the white solid, it becomes delish.)
