Why does American cheese not melt?

But when heat is introduced, the protein structure falls apart and the emulsion breaks the fat globules come together into a greasy pool and the proteins congeal to form a stringy mess.

But American cheese is specifically designed to be extremely melt able and nearly impossible to break.
