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.
The __ __ __ is a group of proteins on the cell surface that is unique to every individual, and is used to identify kin.
Kin identification or kin recognition is defined as the ability of an organism to differentiate between close genetic kin and non-kin. It is an important driving force in the evolution of sexual and social behaviour.
