Progesterone is a female hormone that plays a critical role in the menstrual cycle by preparing the lining of the uterus for implantation of an egg. During W. S. Johnson's biomimetic synthesis of progesterone (a synthesis that draws inspiration from and mimics naturally occurring, biosynthetic pathways), one of the final reactions in the synthesis was believed to have proceeded via the following intermediate. Use resonance structures to explain why this intermediate is particularly stable. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1971, 93,4332-4334). Ill SHAR

Proteins

We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.  

Protein Expression

The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
