Proteins

Proteins are polymers made of monomers  called amino acids. All proteins are made of 20 different amino acids, as stated earlier, and they are all linked differently. Proteins have many uses, including building cell walls, acting as hormones and enzymes, and many other things. There are four types of proteins (starting to see a trend in four?): Storage, Structural, Contractile, and Transport.
