An organic compound that is made of amino acids

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a complex jigsaw puzzle without knowing the final picture. This is similar to how proteins are formed, where each amino acid is like a puzzle piece that fits into a specific place to create a functional whole. Just as the correct arrangement of puzzle pieces reveals the complete image, the specific sequence and arrangement of amino acids determine the unique structure and function of a protein.
