  • Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids chemically bonded together with PEPTIDE BOND
  • Proteins
    • There are about 20 different amino acids, their pattern in the chain can be quite complex and the molecules can be very large
    • Four elements of proteins are Carbon ,Oxygen , Hydrogen and Nitrogen
  • Antibodies
    1. shaped proteins that bind to the body's foreign invaders and signal the immune system to get to work
  • Enzymes
    Proteins that act as biological catalysts
  • If the shape of the active site does not match the shape of the molecule that fits into it, the reaction will not take place
  • The shape of the antibody must match the shape of the antigen so that it can attach to it and signal it for destruction
  • Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs
  • The structural components of a protein
    • A protein consists of a polypeptide backbone with attached side chains
  • Antibodies
    Proteins that protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body. Produced by your immune system, antibodies bind to these unwanted substances in order to eliminate them from your system
  • Enzymes
    Proteins that conduct specific chemical reactions. An enzyme's job is to provide a site for a chemical reaction and to lower the amount of energy and time it takes for that chemical reaction to happen
  • Proteins are essential molecules made up of amino acids, found in every cell of living organisms. They play crucial roles in various biological processes such as cell structure, function, and regulation, acting as enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and more
  • Proteins are made of long chains of molecules called amino acids, folded into specific shapes. These shapes determine their function in the body, such as enzymes helping with chemical reactions or antibodies fighting infections
  • Antibodies are proteins that protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body. Produced by your immune system, antibodies bind to these unwanted substances in order to eliminate them from your system
  • Enzymes are proteins that act upon substrate molecules and decrease the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to occur by stabilizing the transition state
  • Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones
