Then, to revert one of the main proteins in egg whites, lysozyme, back to working order, the researchers added a chemical called urea.
This compound, which is a waste product of many organisms, broke down the clumps of protein, returning the solid material into a liquid. Then, they placed the solution into a high-powered machine called a vortex fluid device which applied shear stress to the proteins, encouraging them to untangle and then re-fold to their original conformation
Ugh... don`t fancy a fry up any more.... as for scrambled, boiled, or poached... no thanks...
