Proteomics in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Proteins are a primary constituent of living things and one of the chief classes of molecules studied in biochemistry. Proteins provide most of the molecular machinery of cells. Many are enzymes or subunits of enzymes. Other proteins play structural or mechanical roles, such as those that form the struts and joints of the cytoskeleton. Each protein is linear polymers built of amino acids. Molecular biology generally covers the molecular basis of biological activity between biomolecules in the various systems of a cell, including the various interactions between DNA, RNA, followed by proteins and their biosynthesis, as well as the regulation of these interactions.
