Proteins are important for the growth, maintenence and repair of tissues.
As with any organism, that organism has to be important to itself to ensure survival.
The four major organic molecules important in humans are carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy, lipids are important for energy storage and cell structure, proteins are essential for cell structure and function, and nucleic acids carry genetic information.

metabolism
Proteins have several functions in an organism. They are used to transport molecules and store molecules, they are used in movement, and they are needed for mechanical support.
Nucleic acids have a number of important features. They are self replicating, and they also have the capacity to synthesize proteins. These proteins, in turn, can regulate or cause all other biochemical processes involved in life. So nucleic acids become the means to store information about how any organism functions, and to bring about those functions as needed.
Proteins in food are genetically programmed to give energy to the organism which eats them once digested, broken into its simplest form( amino acids ) and assimilated into the organism's system.The proteins however, in an organism are meant to either to provide structural strength and integrity to muscles or to digest food.
An organism's traits depend on proteins that are in the cell. The genes that carry traits are made from proteins which are processed by the ribosome.

No, not all of an organism's DNA codes for proteins. Only a small percentage of the DNA in an organism's genome actually codes for proteins, with the rest playing roles in regulating gene expression, controlling cell functions, and other non-coding functions.
The Genetic Code is Universal.
DNA contains the genes that determine the traits of an organism. Not all the DNA is in gene form but in what some people call "junk DNA". It has been shown by some that even that is important in the individual.
