Question
Chemical formula for protein. (according to organic chemistery)
Given answer:-
protein
Proteins are naturally occurring polypeptides. They:
contribute to the mechanical structure of animals, including humans,
e.g. keratin in hair and fingernails, and fibrous proteins such as collagen in tendons
enable animals to move, e.g. myosin in muscle
facilitate transport of smaller molecules around animals' bodies,
e.g. haemoglobin
control the types and rates of chemical reactions in living things; then they are called enzymes, e.g. amylase
are important components of the human immune system,
e.g. immunoglobins
Proteins make up about 15% of our body mass. They are the most abundant 'solid' substances in our bodies. Amino acids have the general structural molecular formula-
NH2CHRCOOH.
They have two important functional groups (a functional group means a group of atoms in a molecule that have characteristic chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule):
