Intro to Polymer Science
Proteins are large, complex molecules made up of long chains of amino acids, essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. They play critical roles in various biological processes, including catalyzing metabolic reactions, replicating DNA, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules. The classification of proteins can be based on their origin (animal or plant), structure (fibrous or globular), and properties (solubility and stability).
