Composition and characteristics of protein

　　Protein is composed of C (carbon), H (hydrogen), O (oxygen) and N (nitrogen). Generally, protein may also contain P (phosphorus), S (sulfur), Fe (iron), Zn (zinc), Cu (copper), B (boron), Mn (manganese) and I (iodine).To some extent, recombinant proteins Our development has surpassed many peer businesses, but it has never stopped moving forward. https://www.alphalifetech.com/

　　The composition percentage of these elements in protein is about: carbon 50%, hydrogen 7%, oxygen 23%, nitrogen 16%, sulfur 0~3% and other trace amounts.

　　(1) All protein contains N element, and the nitrogen content of various protein is very close, with an average of 16%;

　　(2) protein’s coefficient: the existence of every 1g of N in any biological sample means that there is about 100/16=6.25g of protein, and 6.25 is often called protein’s constant.

　　(3) protein is a biopolymer based on amino acids. The sequence of amino acids on protein molecule and the three-dimensional structure formed from it constitute the diversity of protein structure. Protein has primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures, and the structure of protein molecule determines its function.
