Can protein requirements really be met with a vegan diet?

The human body needs proteins as the body's own building material for muscles, tissues and bones, but also for building hormones, enzymes and defense cells of the immune system. For the energy production proteins play a rather subordinate role. People who live vegan often ask themselves whether they can really consume enough proteins with a pure plant-based diet.
