Proteins

Proteins are very important because they build the DNA ladder and they do all the enzymatic work in the cells that are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. Proteins regulate all of the metabolic reactions in the cell and serve as the enzymes needed to catalyze the body’s cellular reactions. Everything that can be seen in a physical biology is either made up of proteins or is the result of the functions of those proteins.

Genes make Proteins

Smaller segments of DNA are called genes and each gene holds an instruction set on how to produce a single protein, as well as generate the many messages to instruct the functions of the Proteins within the body.
