2023年11月13日 · Proteins are macromolecules made up of monomers called amino acids. Amino acids are the building block of all proteins. Structure and Functions.
13.1: Properties of proteins - Chemistry LibreTexts
2023年5月11日 · Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes.
Protein - Amino Acids, Structure, Function | Britannica
6 天之前 · Protein - Amino Acids, Structure, Function: The common property of all proteins is that they consist of long chains of α-amino (alpha amino) acids. The α-amino acids are so called because the α-carbon atom in the molecule carries an amino group (―NH2); the α-carbon atom also carries a carboxyl group (―COOH).
Proteins: Functions, Structure, Properties and Classification
Proteins are nitrogenous organic compounds of high molecular weight which play a vital or prime role in living organisms. They are made up of 20 standard a-amino acids. The main functions of proteins in human body are: 1. They serve as body building units, e.g., muscle proteins. 2.
