Chemistry of Protein

Proteinprotein
the basic components of living organisms. In the human body a lot of protein content, about 45% of the body's solid composition, it is widely distributed, almost all organs
tissue
contains protein, and it is closely related to all life activities. For example, a series of chemical reactions in the body's metabolism process rely almost entirely on the action of biocatalysts-enzymes, and the quality of the undergraduate is protein; many of the
hormones
that regulate the metabolism of substances are also proteins or their derivatives; and other major functions such as muscle contraction, blood clotting, immune function, tissue repair, and growth and reproduction are all associated with proteins. Recent
molecular biology
research shows that proteins play an important role in the control of genetic information, the permeability of cell membranes, the occurrence and conduction of nerve impulses, and the memory of higher animals.
