Summary Introduction
Introduction: Protein is a complex macromolecule that is composed of amino acids. The building blocks of the protein are called amino acids. Amino acid forms a peptide bond by joining two or more amino acids. It consists of an asymmetrical carbon atom that is attached with an amino group, a hydrogen atom, a carboxylic group, and a side group (or R-group). A longer chain of amino acid is known as a polypeptide. Protein has four levels of organization, namely primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures.
