About Lesson

Views: 3

Proteins are large, complex molecules that are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of cells and tissues in living organisms. They are composed of long chains of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. Proteins play a wide range of roles in the body, including enzymatic catalysis, transportation of molecules, cell signaling, immune defense, structural support, and much more.
