They are made up of chains of amino acids, which are their building blocks. These chains, known as polypeptides, can form complex shapes, contributing to the diverse functions of proteins. Proteins can provide structure, facilitate muscle contraction, catalyze reactions as enzymes, and participate in immune response and signaling.
