...where molecules become real TM Magnified 20 Million Times Color Key Indicates one monomer within a polymer Heme group AMINO ACID Backbone atoms Amino acids are the monomer building blocks of proteins. There are 20 amino acids — each with a different shape and chemical property. As they join together in a distinct sequence — specified by your DNA — they spontaneously fold into a compact shape following basic principles of chemistry and physics. Nitrogen Oxygen Carbon β-GLOBIN Your body produces approximately 50,000 different proteins, each with a specific shape that allows it to perform a specific function. β-globin is one example of a protein. It binds to oxygen in the lungs to deliver oxygen to your tissues. The β-globin protein is composed of 146 amino acids joined together in a long linear polymer that folds into a compact shape following basic principles of chemistry and physics.
