“...genetic information encoded in DNA is transcribed as intermediary molecules of RNA, which are in turn translated into the amino acid sequences that make up proteins... Researchers have also long assumed that proteins similarly represent and control all genetic information in animals, plants and fungi – the multicellular organisms classified as eukaryotes...” Mattick, J. 2004. Scientific American 291(4): 61-67. An amino acid sequence is held together with peptide bonds. constitutes the quaternary structure of a protein. is transcribed from DNA directly. is used to build proteins, as well as lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
