Protein Importance and their Function in the Human Body

Salomon Jose

Proteins are the tough complex macromolecules of biological importance the play a major role in the human body. Proteins are highly essential and have a great nutritive value and directly involved in the chemical process. Protein molecules are much larger than sugar and salt molecules and are composed of many amino acids linked by long chains, much like the pearls are located on a string. There are about 20 types of amino acids that are naturally present in proteins. Proteins with similar functions have similar amino acid compositions and sequences.
