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

Functional groups present in a molecule?

Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within a molecule that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of that molecule. Common functional groups include hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl (C=O), carboxyl (-COOH), amino (-NH2), and phosphate (-PO4). These groups give molecules unique properties and determine their reactivity with other molecules.

Is OH found in many proteins?

If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.


What is the importance of functional groups?

Functional groups help to determine how the molecule reacts. For instance, if a carbon chain has a large number of methyl groups, then you would know that the molecule would be hydrophobic and found in a hydrophobic environment. On the other hand, if a carbon chain had a carboxyl group, then it would be found in a hydrophilic environment and would make the solution acidic. In addition to determine what kind of solutions they would be found in, functional groups indicate what the molecule will react with and what it will bind to.
