Definition: a-Amino Acids
Chemically, proteins are polyamides, which are high molecular weight polymers of the monomer units called \[\alpha\]-amino acids.
CBSE: Class 12
Definition: Proteins
Proteins are complex polyamides formed from amino acids. They are essential for the proper growth and maintenance of the body. They have many peptide (-CO–NH )bonds.

Key Points: Biomolecules in the Cell > Proteins
- Proteins are polymers of amino acids (polypeptides) in which amino acids are linked by peptide bonds.
- There are 20 types of amino acids, so proteins are heteropolymers (not homopolymers).
- Amino acids are of two types: essential (must be obtained from diet) and non-essential (can be synthesised in the body).
- Proteins are high molecular weight biomolecules (polyamides) made of α-amino acids with a general structure R-CH(NH₂)-COOH.
- Proteins perform various functions such as enzymatic activity, transport, hormonal regulation, immunity, and sensory reception.
- Proteins are of two main types: fibrous proteins (insoluble, structural, e.g., keratin) and globular proteins (soluble, functional, e.g., enzymes, insulin).
- Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals, while RuBisCO is the most abundant enzyme in the biosphere.
