Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules made up of amino acids. They play a key role in the body’s metabolic activities, and so, their study helps in understanding the various biochemical processes occurring in the body. Proteomics, protein chip, yeast two-hybrid screening, and mass spectroscopy are laboratory techniques that may be employed to study the nature of proteins. A mixed anhydride is a type of bond found in aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) molecules.
