Proteins: Complex nitrogenous organic compounds of high molecular weight made of amino acids; essential for growth and repair of animal tissue. Many, but not all, proteins are enzymes.
Protocol: A series of formal steps for conducting a test.
stress proteins

toxins Proteins or conjugated protein substances which are lethal to other organisms. They are produced by some higher plants, certain animals, and pathogenic bacteria.
" There are many familiar examples of naturally-occurring polymers, including cellulose, DNA, proteins, starch. Naturally-occurring polymers are biodegradable &emdash; they are synthesized and degraded by enzymatic processes.
Anaerobic Decomposition - Decomposition of cellulose and proteins occurring in the absence of oxygen, such as in landfill waste, producing methane and carbon dioxide.
Antibody: Class of blood proteins generated by the immune system to neutralize foreign materials such as bacteria or viruses. Can also be directed against the body’s own disease-associated molecules.
Plants then synthesize other sugars, proteins, DNA, starch, cellulose and fats from these simple hexoze sugars.
Protein a type of organic compound normally consisting of one or more amino acid chains, essential to all living organisms ...
Proteome: All of the proteins produced by a given species, just as the genome is the totality of the genetic information possessed by that species.
Proteomics: The study of the proteome.
It does this by promoting production of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), the "good" cholesterol that lowers the artery-clogging risk of high levels of LDL. Baycol was withdrawn from the market in August of 2001.
A condition of abnormal sensitivity in certain individuals to contact with substances such as proteins, pollens, bacteria, and certain foods.

Energy possessed by a moving body of matter, such as water, as a result of its motion.
kjeldahl nitrogen (KELL-doll). Nitrogen in the form of organic proteins or their decomposition product ammonia, as measured by the Kjeldahl Method.
Natural processes take place when micro-organisms produce nitrogen in a reduced form as ammonia and amino groups of amino acids, which are then absorbed from the soil by plants and are used to make proteins for nutrition.
