Best Answer

Considering the human body has an astronomical amount of protein types and each protein type has an astronomical number of individual proteins, pin-pointing a number is worthless. Your body creates and loses proteins constantly. There are only 4 major types for DNA: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.

As for a # of proteins as a whole: A whole bunch.

Why is it more important to understand the human proteome than the human genome?

The human genome contains the complete set of genes necessary for human life. However, understanding the human proteome is more important because the proteome contains proteins, or the actual functional molecules of a cell. Understanding proteomes means understanding and controlling mutations, drug interactions, and being able to chemically modify proteins after synthesis.


How can you eat cow muscle protein if you only have human proteins in your body?

All proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, the building blocks for protein. When you eat "cow muscle protein," your body breaks the proteins down into amino acids, which are absorbed in the small intestine and then utilized for your body to produce the proteins that we require. Many proteins, however are identical in the cow and human. (i.e. actin and myosin, two proteins that allow for muscle contraction)


What do proteins do in a human cell?
