A protein is a polymer of its constituent amino acids which determine its structure and chemical properties, having molecular weights ranging from approximately 10.000 to one million. A protein can have many biochemical functions including transport, contraction, catalysis, metabolic regulation, structure and protection. The basic structure of an amino acid includes a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and an R-group (or side chain) attached to the ?-carbon (see figure 1.) Fig 1.
