Proteins are long-chain molecules built from small units known as amino acids. Proteins are consisted my one or more "chains" of amino-acids. (each chain is called a polypeptide).

Proteins have many, many functions (structural, catalytic etc).

For more, take a look at this: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein It briefly explains what is a protein in simple English. If you still have trouble understanding, reply back.
