Let's just start with the last part with what's it doing in the body?

How does that kind of work?

And then later we can get into that how that is beneficial.

People think of protein as something you eat and you do eat protein and you need protein in your diet.

However, your body shreds that protein down into amino acids and it's the amino acids in the body that it uses to function.

And that's why getting the right proteins in

That means you have the right amino acids, which is really important.

But those are just the building blocks for what your body has to do.

And the body strings the amino acids into a chain.

It's called a polypeptide chain.

Doesn't matter.

And that is the primary shape of a protein.

So that people appreciate how fundamental that is, the reason you have DNA is to be the blueprint for the proteins.

So it's very fundamental that these proteins get built.

And after they are formed, they have to fold into a very precise three dimensional shape before they can function.

And that folding is so important that a couple years ago it picked up a a Nobel Prize.

for the predicting of the shape of the fruit protein.

And so it's it's absolutely fundamental to medicine about

eighty percent of medications are doing something with your proteins, you know, they're inhibitors or accelerators or whatever it is with proteins.
