Least important biomolecule.

Hey!

 

So, I'm after reading a tirade of experimental papers and journal reviews for a college assignment and all of them seem to glorify their subject molecule as either "crucial", "extremely important" or "invaluable".

 

For a change, instead of hearing about vital, couldnt-do-without proteins and PTM's... I'd like to hear about a completely dispensable and redundant protein.

 

What do you think is the least important human biomolecule?

 

I vote for one of the many olfactory receptors we have.
