Polymers

Hello friends, Proteins are polymers of amino acids covalently linked through peptide bonds into a chain. Within and outside of cells, proteins serve a myriad of functions, including structural roles (cytoskeleton), as catalysts (enzymes), ...

Proteins linear polymers built of amino acids. The sequence of the amino acids decide the three dimensional fold of the protein. The sequence of amino acid also defines the flexibility or rigidity of an protein. This structural property ...

Just to make it crystal clear, the proteins are polymers of amino acids, the RNA is polymer of other monomers ;) As canalon said, they have different function, but also different size and shape ;)

... are all made of the same thing (RNA) but have different functions. So they are the same thing just as proteins are the sane thing. They are all polymers of amino acids, but with lots of different functions.

... “ … it is not a fixed structure whose function can be understood in isolation. Rather it is a dynamic and adaptive structure whose component polymers and regulatory proteins are in constant flux.” Cell Mechanics and the Cytoskeleton – Nature 463 Jan 28 2010 485-492) The cell is typically ...
