Summary Introduction
Introduction :
All the instructions required for the organism to function correctly are found in the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence of the organism. Proteins are created from ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is created from DNA. Since most proteins are enzymes, they are essential for the correct operation of the cell. The body uses these enzymes for a variety of catalytic processes.
