I'm no expert, but I don't think that's possible.

Does denaturing affect the amount of protein? I wouldn't think so.
Does it affect the smell? I would have thought yes.

Could be wrong on both though. As I have said, I'm no expert.

Yes but the protein must still be there, even when denatured, right?
