Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They are made up of smaller units called monomers.
The monomers of proteins are called amino acids. These are organic compounds that combine to form proteins.
Amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain, which then folds into a specific shape to become a functional protein.
There are 20 different amino acids that can be combined in various sequences to create a wide variety of proteins, each with unique functions.
Understanding the role of amino acids as the building blocks of proteins is fundamental to studying how proteins function in biological systems.
