Temperatures above or below the range that cells tend to live in will cause thermally unstable proteins to unfold or " denature " (this is why boiling makes an egg white turn opaque). Source: Internet
Typical preparation Poaching allows the proteins to denature without pulling out too much (if any at all) moisture out of it. Source: Internet
When insects ingest toxin crystals, their alkaline digestive tracts denature the insoluble crystals, making them soluble and thus amenable to being cut with proteases found in the insect gut, which liberate the toxin from the crystal. Source: Internet
