Protein: Ubiquitin
Artist: Minhazur Sarker
Garbage: it’s all around us, even in our body! Ubiquitin is a special protein that functions to eliminate the proteins we do not need anymore. A link, via a covalent attachment, joins ubiquitin proteins together and when 4 are strung together, they move the garbage protein to a proteasome, which runs the process of destruction.
