Why Proteins Matter
proteins are the most _________ biomoleculwes in biology
versatile
Why Proteins Matter
proteins acts as:
catalysts, structural scaffolds, transporters, signal receptors, motors, and regulators.
Why Proteins Matter
Diversity of shapes
From rigid collagen fibers to flexible signaling proteins.
Why Proteins Matte
specificty
proteins recognize subsrates
dna sequences
and other bio9molecules with great accuracay
Why Proteins Matter
catalytic power
nearly all biochemical rxns need enzymes (proteins)
Why Proteins Matter
Dynamic capacity
proteins undergo conformational changes that allow motion signaling and regulation
