1 contribute to the mechanical structure of animals, including humans, e.g. keratin in hair and fingernails, and fibrous proteins such as collagen in tendons. 2  enable animals to move, e.g. myosin in muscle.  facilitate transport of smaller molecules around animals' bodies, e.g. haemoglobin.
Humans have tens of thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. Proteins are the most structurally complex molecules known. Each type of protein has a complex three-dimensional shape or conformation. All protein polymers are constructed from the same set of 20 amino acid monomers. Polymers of proteins are called polypeptides. A protein consists of one or more polypeptides folded and coiled into a specific conformation. Amino acids are the monomers from which proteins are constructed. Amino acids are organic molecules with both carboxyl and amino groups. 1  At the center of an amino acid is an asymmetric carbon atom called the alpha carbon. 2  Four components are attached to the alpha carbon: a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a variable R group (or side chain).
