Life is the mode of action of proteins.

— Friedrich Engels

Our cells engage in protein production, and many of those proteins are enzymes responsible for the chemistry of life.

— Randy Schekman

Inside of a living cell there are thousands of proteins that enable it to make more of itself and make your malaria drug, for…
