Abstract

This and the following chapters treat the action of proteins, namely, ways in which they perform their specialized tasks. These tasks are varied and have been listed already. We shall dwell on some of the most important functions of proteins without expecting to treat this problem exhaustively. Let us start from the immunological, or protective, function.
