Why do we isolate proteins?

Proteins perform many functions. There is still a lot of mysteries concerning the mechanisms and pathways of most proteins.

Proteins are isolated:

(1) for characterization (to understand its properties)

(2) to understand its involvement in biological systems (What would happen if the protein is absent?)

(3) to address many health issues that is a result of proteins gone awry

Hahaha, while perusing the internet for an informative picture/video. I stumbled upon this interesting video that is center around the isolation of Rubsico (the original reason why this blog exists).
