Brief Explanations
Proteins are macromolecules. Their monomers are amino - acids. They are made up of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur. Proteins have various functions like catalyzing reactions (enzymes), providing structural support (collagen), transporting substances (hemoglobin). Examples include enzymes like amylase, structural proteins like keratin in hair and nails, and transport proteins like transferrin.
