PrevKeratin, a type of protein, is the key structural material making up hair, nails, and the outer layer of the skin. We rely on proteins for rapid growth and formation of muscles. Enzymes, are a class of proteins that speed up biochemical reactions in the body. Pepsin, Trypsin and amylase are enzymes that help in the digestion of food.NextEssential amino acids cannot be created by the body. They must be obtained from protein food sources. There are nine essential amino acids and thirteen non- essential amino acids. Proteins exist in all living things, including the DNA.

Lipase and ribonuclease, are enzymes that aid the break down food particles in our stomachs. Some other interesting facts to note are: Complete proteins sources are protein sources that have all amino acids including essential amino acids. Examples are soy beans, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs, and meat. Incomplete protein sources are protein sources that do not have all the essential amino acids. Examples include nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables.
