Abstract

In my contributions to this book I shall consider proteins and peptides as functional biological units, rather than as chemical compounds. I shall try to show that, from the point of view of a biologist, proteins should not be considered as individual entities, but rather as components of complex interacting cyclical control systems that involve not only multitudes of other proteins, but also non-protein-components of cells and of the extracellular environment. I have in mind, for example, the phospholipids of the cell membrane, nonproteinacious chemical messengers (steroids and neurotransmitters), and drugs and toxins of low molecular weight.
