Study Notes
Protein Functions and Structure
- A protein's functions are varied and include enzyme, transport, storage, reception, structural, defense, and control functions.
- A protein's basic structure consists of a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
- There is no theoretical limit to the number of functions a single protein can have, as some proteins can perform multiple functions depending on their structure and interactions.
