Are you a pro-tein?


I know, it's not that funny, but I couldn't help myself!


Do you want to learn more about animo acids and protein structure? Be sure to click on the small yellow arrow on the left of the page to get to the next page on the site (I didn't see it at first!).


Did you know that proteins actually have 4 different structures? They are very complex molecules, indeed!

  5. Pro-teins... wow

    Thats pretty complex... that animation in class with the twisting and folding was pretty cool

  6. Wow!!! That's awesome! I mean, I knew they were complex, but I never thought they were THAT complex!!!

  9. I didn't know that proteins were so complex! I was really unsure about amino acids but now I feel much more confident! The animation was extremely helpful!

  10. That looks so much more complex then the Amino Acid we saw during class!

  11. I did not know that proteins were so important! I really need a lot more of them to stay healthy.

  16. That is really interesting about the 4 structures. I definitely learned a lot. I didn't even know tertiary was a word.

  17. The protein structure pictured is much more complex and twisted than I imagined it was. But what do the multiple colors represent?

    (Ha. Pro-tein. :) )

  24. it's so cool that proteins are just these long lines of amino acids folded and twisted into so complex and important. wow, it just show how even the simpilist things can become complex and useful

  25. I'm a protein for my mini poster. i just finished. i understand proteins a whole lot better now.
