Proteins are multifunctional biomolecules that perform diverse roles in the body. They are involved in metabolism, structure and support, transport, regulation, and motion. Proteins are made of amino acid monomers that join together via peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains which fold into complex three-dimensional shapes dictated by their primary, secondary, tertiary, and sometimes quaternary structures. A protein's structure determines its specific function, such as enzymes catalyzing reactions, collagen providing structure, or hemoglobin transporting oxygen.
