Difftrence between body proreins and dietary proteins

Proteins our body synthesize has a structure, it is extremly complicated and serves to give proteins its function.

the protein we eat is denatured, most elements of its struture removed by heat. thats why egg changes color when we cook it.

when we ingest the denatured protein, it is further break down into its constituted pieces before being absorbed.

Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form protein. They’re usually referred to as the “building blocks” of protein. “There are 20 different amino acids in the body—11 are nonessential, or those our body can make, and nine are essential, or those we cannot make and need to get from food,”
