What are #proteins and why are they important?
Immune response, muscle movement, energy creation, the list is endless. Proteins provide structure, function, and regulation by carrying messages, transporting molecules, and drive chemical reactions that keep us alive.
Proteins are built from chains of amino acids and that order determines how a protein folds, interacts with other molecules, and what it can do.
The relationship between sequence, structure, and function is critical. Changes in a proteins sequence or folding can affect how it works. Certain changes can disrupt cellular processes and contribute to disease.
Studying proteins helps researchers investigate how our bodies work, what changes in disease, and where treatments might make a difference.
Welcome to Back to Basics, our series exploring proteins and the field of #proteomics.
