1.   Proteins work as enzymes, catalysing particular chemical reactions.

2.   Although the new studies were with mice, humans make a very similar protein and the human protein works perfectly in mice, the researchers report.

3.   And while the genes provide instructions for the manufacture of proteins, understanding how the proteins work and interact would require another massive research project.

4.   Another related one is proteomics, which involves determining which proteins are in different cells and how the proteins work together.

5.   Gil Lee of the Naval Research Laboratory said better knowledge of how DNA and cell proteins work as physical machines may help find remedies for genetic disorders.

6.   Others are drawn to the task because they believe that hearing the code in a musical form will give ordinary people a better understanding of how proteins work.

7.   Presumably, leptin fits into this act of disinhibition, but where and how the protein works its black magic have yet to be determined.

8.   The order of these amino acids influences how the protein works.

9.   This gives scientists hope that the human protein will work in overweight people as well.

10.   Tang said researchers also have found that the three anthrax proteins work as a team in the attack.
