Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
Introduction
Biomolecules are organic molecules that are found in living organisms and are essential for life. They include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and various other types of smaller, organic molecules.
Biomolecules play important roles in the structural and functional organization of cells and tissues, and are involved in processes such as energy storage and transfer, communication between cells, and the regulation of metabolic pathways.
