Abstract

Proteins are essential and versatile polymers consisting of sequenced amino acids that often possess an organized three-dimensional arrangement, (a result of their monomeric composition), which determines their biological role in cellular function. Proteins are involved in enzymatic catalysis; they participate in genetic information decoding and transmission processes, in cell recognition, in signaling, and transport of substances, in regulation of intra and extracellular conditions, and other functions.
