Clayton State University Elastin Protein Paper

In this chapter you were introduced to protein structure and function. For this discussion, you will pick a protein from the attached list. Everyone must choose a different protein, so you will need to read the posts before you choose your protein to make sure it is still available. You will look up information about this protein (in your textbook and/or online) and post a brief summary. You should cite the sources you use. Your summary should include:

• The name of your protein (make this the title of your thread)
• The protein structure (Is it globular? Fibrous? Does it have quaternary structure? How many amino acids? etc.)
• The function of the protein
• Any information about your protein that you found especially interesting
