Proteins are polymers made by joining up small molecules called amino acids. Amino acids and proteins are made mainly of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

Sul Ross State University College and Career Development Centers are the Lobo Center, services freshman only, and the Career Services and Testing Center, which services freshman through graduates. Alpine, Texas is home to Sul Ross State University, it is a rural West Texas town nestled outside of the Big Bend area 20 miles from Mexico. Lobo, timber wolf, is the mascot for Sul Ross which has a student population of approximately 2000.

Proteins are polymeric chains that are built from monomers called amino acids. All structural and functional properties of proteins derive from the chemical properties of the polypeptide chain. There are four levels of protein structural organization: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. Primary structure is defined as the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. The secondary structure refers to certain regular geometric figures of the chain. Tertiary structure results from long-range contacts within the chain. The quaternary structure is the organization of protein subunits, or two or more independent polypeptide chains.

Proteins are the primary functionary macromolecules of any cell due to their vast variety in function, which is a result of their amount of varying forms, and they are polymers composed of amino acids. These functions include transportation, structural support, motility, gene regulation, signal carrying and receiving, storage, and catalyzing reactions; these functions are determined by the form of the protein. It follows then that the many functions of proteins come from their multitude of forms and their multiple levels of structure which are as follows: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is most basic chain or sequence of amino acids that accumulate into the alpha helices and beta sheets which compose the secondary structure of a protein. The tertiary structure is a complete and three-dimensional polypeptide chain containing the secondary structures, folds, coils, loops, and such that form a globular form. Quaternary structure is a single protein formed by multiple polypeptide chains or multiple tertiary structures.

Campbell and Farrell define proteins as polymers of amino acids that have been covalently joined through peptide bonds to form amino acid chains (61). A short amino acid chain comprising of thirty amino acids forms a peptide, and a longer chain of amino acids forms a polypeptide or a protein. Each of the amino acids making up a protein, has a fundamental design that comprises of a central carbon or alpha carbon that is bonded to a hydrogen element, an amino grouping, a carboxyl grouping, and a unique side chain or the R-group (Campbell and Farrell 61).

Amino acids are essential for the human body as they are referred to as the building blocks of proteins (Nutriology 2003). They are compounds that contain a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2) also joined to them are various side groups which are bonded to the alpha carbon (Thermo-fisher 2015).

Proteins play a role in almost every physiological process that takes place in our body and understanding protein functionality can lead to a better understanding human biology and life itself. The central dogma of biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins. It has long been established that the structure of the protein determines the function, however this idea has been challenged in recent years by the discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins. Protein structure determines the key characteristics exhibited by the protein and can determine its role in biological processes. Proteins are comprised of amino acids; this sequence of amino acid residues describes the protein’s primary structure. The
