What is Casein?

The protein that makes up most of the protein in milk. Curdling it is what makes cheese, and it digests slowly, hence slow-release protein powders. Found in chocolate, milk, cheese, and whipped cream. from source

No single structure

Casein is a protein: a large folded chain of amino acids. It has no single 2D or 3D structure, molecular weight or SMILES, so MoleculeFinder models it by hand.
