CHEM 3212 DISCUSSION FORUM UNIT 6 University of the people Course Chemistry Institution Chemistry Choose your favorite protein and briefly discuss it biological role The most prevalent protein in the human body and the one that accounts for one-third of the body's mass is "collagen," which is my favorite protein (Ahern et al., 2018). Body tissues are kept in place by collagen fibers, which are a crucial component of the extracellular matrix. Strength, flexibility, and waterproofing are all attributes of collagen in the skin. For fibrous tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, and skin, collagen creates fibrils, which act as the framework. It also affects the cornea of the eye, the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, intervertebral discs, muscles, cartilage, and bones (Anne Marie Helmenstine, 2019).
