Scientists from Washington have made a shocking new discovery and have found a new way to unboil an egg, reported the Science World Report on Jan 26, 2015.
The research carried away by the scientists is an important discovery for the biomedical field and is said to be bringing down the costs of the treatment for Cancer.
Gregory Weiss, professor of chemistry, molecular biology & biochemistry, said he had found a way to pull apart the protein from boiled eggs and refold it back to its original state.
To re-create lysozyme, the protein found in boiled eggs, professor Weiss and his department colleagues added urea that may bring back the solid egg.
Boil the eggs for the first 20 minutes at 90 degrees Celsius
In an experiment carried by them, they boiled the eggs for the first 20 minutes at 90 degrees Celsius and then investigated re-engineering the phenomena.
The entire phenomenon was carried away by a high-powered machine designed by Professor Colin Raston’s laboratory at South Australia’s Flinders University.
Many researchers have struggled to carry this experiment earlier as well. The experiments carried in the past were expensive and time-consuming; however, the new process is fast.
The idea behind carrying out this experiment was not to bring back the egg from its boiled form but to build an ability to reform the proteins from yeast.
This experiment could be very much helpful in bringing down the cost of cancer treatment in hospitals. It could streamline the manufacturing process for companies and drastically reduce the medication’s worth, making it affordable for every patient.
