Protein Science

Protein Science deals with the structure, functions, and biological significance of proteins, their role in genetics, molecular and cell biology, and their regulation and mechanisms of action.

A single cell can include hundreds of proteins, each with a completely unique feature. Although their systems, like their features, range substantially, all proteins are made up of 1 or more chains of amino acids. Proteins can play a big selection of roles in a cellular or organism. Proteins make up about 42% of the dry weight of our bodies.
