What are proteins useful for?

Proteins are used to help restore any damaged tissues in the body and there are also special types of proteins called enzymes that are catalysts used for chemical reactions. Proteins can form biological structures, such as cytoskeletons. They can also be enzymes, which catalyze chemical reactions, can act as antibodies, and can also act as membrane receptors to bind molecules to a cell.
