Chapter 3, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Certain complex structures that are found in all living organisms and are essential for their survival are proteins. They are a basic structural component of many parts of the cell. Proteins are a component of enzymes, hormones, transcription factors and other substances. Proteins are formed by the translation of mRNAs that are encoded by certain genes.
