Give example for four functional proteins

Open in App

Solution

Functional proteins are proteins that don't have a structural function (these are called structural proteins).
Examples include: antibodies (bind to pathogens and opsonize them), enzymes (biological catalysis), motor proteins (help cells in locomotion), and receptor molecules (allow for signal transduction mechanisms).
