    Define and Explain the following four roles of proteins with examples:

     Structural
     Enzymatic
     Transport &
     Regulatory functions

    Structural Proteins
    Structural proteins strengthen cells, tissues, organs, and more. On a larger scale,
    they also allow the body to move. Keratin forms the structure of your skin, nails,
    hair and teeth.

    Examples:

     Collagen
     Tublin

    Collagen strengthens our Tubulin forms hollow MaSp (major ampullate


    bones, cartilage, tendons, tubes, called spidroin protein) makes
    ligaments, and skin. It microtubules, that support up the black widow
    makes up about a quarter the structure of the cell
    spider web.
    of the body's total protein
    Enzymatic proteins:
    Enzymes serve as biological catalysts needed for chemical reactions. Digestive
    enzymes help your body digest food, for instance. They split complex molecules
    into simple forms for your body to use.

    They also assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic
    information stored in DNA.

    Examples:

    Amylolytic digestive enzymes reduce carbohydrates and starches to glucose and


    proteolytic enzymes reduce proteins to amino acids.

    Luciferase makes fireflies DNA polymerase builds DNA


    glow. It controls a molecules. It reads the old
    chemical reaction that DNA strand and inserts the
    gives off light. correct nucleotides into the
    new strand.

    Transport Proteins:
    Transport proteins are carrier proteins which move molecules from one place to
    another around the body.

    They help in transportation of life sustaining chemicals vital gases and nutrients.

    Examples:

     Hemoglobin cytochromes
    Hemoglobin is one of
     Cytochromes
    Cytochromes are Channels in cell membranes
    these and is responsible another that operate in help ions (sodium,
    the electron potassium, calcium) cross
    for transporting oxygen
    transport chain as the membrane. This action
    through the blood via red
    electron carrier proteins, allows heart cells to beat
    blood cells. generating energy to and nerve cells to fire
    power the cell

    Regulatory protein (gene-regulatory protein):


    Any protein that influences the regions of a DNA molecule that are transcribed by
    RNA polymerase during the process of transcription. These proteins, which
    include transcription factors, therefore help control the synthesis of proteins in
    cells.
    The p53 protein prevents a cell
    Androgen and estrogen
    from dividing when its DNA is
    receptors control genes that
    damaged. It prompts the cell to
    trigger the onset of puberty in
    males and females, respectively. repair the damage
