According to Bill Bryson’s book, “THE BODY”, estimates of the number of proteins in the human body range from a few hundred thousand to a million or more. Regardless of whether the actual number is closer to the bottom or the top estimate, as most of the useful things in the body are proteins, it is clear that a deep understanding of the structure and function of this biological molecule is critical for the success of any student on the OCR A-level Biology A course.
