| Abstract | Proteins are nanometer-scale molecules whose composition and shape are specified by genes. Inside the cell, they catalyze chemical reactions, perform mechanical work, and assemble into larger structures. The collective action of very many proteins drives cell growth, division, and movement. Proteins are often controlled by external signals – for example, adding a nutrient to the cellular environment might turn a protein “on” or “off” by binding to the protein and altering its shape or dynamics. |
