Proteins are large, complex molecules that play a number of important activities in the human body. They are essential for the structure, function, and control of the body's tissues and organs, and they do the majority of their activity in cells. Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units known as amino acids that are linked in lengthy chains. A protein is made up of 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined in various ways. The amino acid sequence dictates the three-dimensional structure and function of each protein. Combinations of three DNA building units (nucleotides) are used to code for amino acids, which are decided by gene sequence. Proteins with similar structures interact with particular molecules in similar ways, thus they're grouped together as a protein family. Within the cell, proteins belonging to the same family tend to perform comparable tasks. Long stretches of similar amino acid sequences can be found in the main structure of proteins from the same family. These regions have been retained throughout evolution and are essential for the protein's catalytic function. Proteomics is the study of proteins on a vast scale.
