Nevertheless, themes associated to it are seldom covered in the high-school chemistry classes. Proteins, the most abundant biomolecules in living beings, are one of the main subjects of study in biochemistry. Taking this into account, in this paper an introduction to the basic concepts on proteins is presented, as well as a simple experiment to help with the discussion of the several chemical concepts, beside suggestions of themes for debates in the classroom.
