And if so what is the actual loss, enzymes only or lots of the nutrition?
Enzymes are lost. There is some dispute about the precise temperature that enzymes are lost, but it's somewhere around 115-125. Anything higher than that, the enzymes are killed. Nutrients are also lost, but I'm not sure what temperature that happens at. When enzymes are killed, the body's ability to utilize nutrients is impaired.
This is why raw vegans typically report better health, greater energy and vitality; their bodies are absorbing and utilizing more nutrients than with cooked food.
Enzymes are like spark plugs. You might think of them as the lifeforce. As Edgar Cayce said: death begets death, life begets life.
