Proteins
Quick question for y'all. Are proteins living organisms? And do they die of exposed to air?
Hey paranoidgirl5.
Welcome to the forum.
Proteins are essential components of living organisms, involved in many vital functions and processes.
They are about 75%-80% of the dry weight of our body and they contain
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and other elements.
In the presence of oxygen they may become oxidised, a chemical interaction between the oxygen molecules and the surface of the substance- in this case the protein. So not exactly death, but the start of a damaging process.
Just curious, why do you ask this? What is it that you want to find out?
Perhaps I can help you better, if you give more information.
Take care.
