Preferred Label : protein;
Definition : Linear polypeptides that are synthesized on ribosomes and may be further modified,
crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The
specific sequence of amino acids determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during
protein folding, and the function of the protein. [MeSH];
