The current recommended daily intake of protein is approximately 0.8 grams/kilogram of body weight for people over the age of 18. Therefore, for a 180-pound adult, the recommended daily allowance of protein would be 2.3 ounces. However, the protein requirements may increase for people over the age of 65 depending on their physical needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Proteins from integral parts of most body structures such as skin, tendons, membranes, muscles, organs and bones. As such, they support the growth and repair of body tissues.
Proteins facilitate chemical reations.
Proteins regulate body processeds.
Proteins can help to maintain the acid-base balance of body fluid by acting as buffers.
Proteins transport substances, such as lipids, vitamins, minerals and oxygen around the body.
Proteins inactivate foreign invaders, thus protecting the body against diseases.
Proteins provide some fuel, and glucose if needed, for the body's energy needs.

The linear amino acid sequence that composes the polypeptide chain of a protein. A protein is a polyamide.

# data[].attributes.body
:a stable structure formed by hydrogen bonds between C=O and N-H groups between different amino acids, mainly α-helix and β-sheet. Because the secondary structure is local, many regions of different secondary structures can exist in the same protein molecule.

The three-dimensional structure of a protein molecule formed by the arrangement of multiple secondary structure elements in a three-dimensional space is the overall shape of a single protein molecule. Most of the tertiary structure of a protein has a hydrophobic core to stabilize the structure. At the same time, there are also salt bridges (proteins), hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds, and even post-translational modifications. "Tertiary structure" can often be expressed by the term "folding". The tertiary structure controls the basic functions of the protein.

A structure formed by several protein molecules (polypeptide chains), usually called protein subunits, which functions as a protein complex.
