What are the two major types of proteins that build parts of cells?

functional proteins and structural proteins


What functional groups compose proteins?

Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are made up of amines (NH2) and carboxyls (COOH). They are joined by peptide bonds. Examples of functional categories of proteins includes Contractile proteins, regulatory proteins, structural proteins, transport proteins, catalytic proteins and immunological proteins


What is the difference between structural and functional proteins?

Structural Proteins form Structures, like bones and muscle. Functional Proteins are you used to do stuff, so pretty much everything else


What is the role of functional proteins?

Growth and Repair


Are most proteins enzymes?

No, it most be carefully note that all enzymes are mostly proteins and not all proteins are enzymes. Enzymes carry out the catalysis of biochemical reactions in and out of the cells. there are different non enzymatic structural and functional proteins they do have important roles such as hormones, structural proteins such as collagen etc.


Are enzymes classified as structural proteins or functional proteins?

Enzymes are proteins, each with a uniquely specific Biochemical Function.


What is a funtional protein?

Proteins are nitrogenous compounds being made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins also contain sulphur. In living systems proteins play an important role in the structural organisation eg., cell membrane, hairs, nails and muscles. Many of the proteins serve as enzymes. They are named as functional proteins.

Functional group of cysteine?

The functional group of cysteine is a thiol group, also known as a sulfhydryl group, which consists of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. This thiol group is important for the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins, which play a role in the structure and function of proteins.


What are functional proteins?

Storage molecules, transport molecules, and movement.
