The Pros To Being A Protein: An Actual Life Story

If I had to be a macromolecule, I would be a protein.

I was formed in the warm summery month of July. My mother and father, both polypeptide chains had a bond together that eventually formed me (proteins can be one or more polypeptide chains folded or bonded together). As i grew up I liked to dip my feet in all sorts of activities. I learned how to do everything (Proteins are involved in almost everything). I tried ultimate cup stacking (enzymes), gymnastics (structure), girl scouts (carrier), cheer leading (cell communication), karate (defense), ballet (movement), and hoarding (storage). I  like being a protein. I have a very diverse group of friends (Proteins are the most structurally and functionally diverse group). I also like that I can do everything, being a protein in all.
