Proteins are the key working molecules and building blocks in all cells. They are produced in a similar two-step process in all organisms called protein synthesis – dna is first transcribed into rna, then rna is translated into protein.

What are proteins made of? The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below.

Proteins - polymers are known as polypeptides, monomers are amino acids. Nucleic acids - polymers are dna and rna, monomers are nucleotides, which are in turn consist of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and phosphate group.

All proteins contain four elements, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, with most proteins also containing sulfur. Further, there are proteins which also contain phospho- rus, iodine, iron, copper and zinc. These elements are contained in the proportions shown below, with percentages varying in each protein.

Answer: protein polymers are made up of 20 major types of amino acids. Amino acids are combinations of three dna building blocks. Examples of protein polymers are haemoglobin, gelatin, enzymes and antibodies.
