Enzymes are of extreme interest due Enzymes are of extreme interest due to application in medicine and to application in medicine and potential commercial use.potential commercial use.
Protein StructureProtein Structure Protein structure is Protein structure is
critical in determining critical in determining what the protein can do.what the protein can do.
Proteins are a type of Proteins are a type of macromolecule that are macromolecule that are assembled from assembled from subunits called amino subunits called amino acids.acids.– Usually tens or hundreds Usually tens or hundreds
