I'm eating a lot of organic proteins and vegetables! Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is my No. 1 priority because I'm nursing my daughter. ↗

The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids. ↗

As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions. ↗

Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life. ↗

A meringue is really nothing but a foam. And what is a foam after all, but a big collection of bubbles? And what's a bubble? It's basically a very flimsy little latticework of proteins draped with water. We add sugar to this structure, which strengthens it. But things can, and do, go wrong. ↗

And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance. ↗

By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made. ↗

I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level. ↗

In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines. ↗

Owing to the difficulty of dealing with substances of high molecular weight we are still a long way from having determined the chemical characteristics and the constitution of proteins, which are regarded as the principal con-stituents of living organisms. ↗
