Abstract
This puzzle embeds 37 names, terms, prefixes, and acronyms about the structure of proteins in a 16- x 14-letter matrix. A descriptive narrative with underlined spaces to be filled gives clues to the terms a student needs to find. When all are found, the 18 unused letters complete a sentence that describes a major function of proteins.
