(f) Prolamines :
They occur only in plants e.g., zein in corn and gliadin in wheat.
(ii) Conjugated proteins :
These are formed by the binding of a simple protein with a non-protein called the
prosthetic group.
These are of following types-
(a) Chromoproteins :
These contain pigment (coloured) as prosthetic group e.g., haemoglobin,
haemocyanin, cytochrome, flavoprotien and rhodopsin.
(b) Glycoproteins :
Contain protein + carbohydrate less than 4% eg., plasma glycoprotein secreted
from liver and immunoglobulin produced by lymphocyetes.
(c) Mucoprotein :They have carbohydrate more than 4% e.g., Muerins of bacteria cell
wall ossomucoid in bones, tendenomucoid in tendons, chondromucoid in cartilage.
Various mucoproteins are found in vitrous humor synovial fluid.
(d) Nucleoproteins :
Contain protein + nucleic acid. e.g., histone and non-histone protein join with DNA
to make chromosomes.
(e) Metalloproteins :
Contain protein + metal ions e.g., Arginase (Mn & Mg), Carbonic anhydrase (Zn),
Tyrosinase (Cu), Xanthine oxidase (Mo) etc.
(f) Phosphoproteins :
Contain protein + phosphate e.g., casein in milk and ovo-vitellin in eggs.
(g) Lipoproteins :
Contain protein + lipids e.g., high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein
(LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Mostly important in membranes.
(iii) Derived proteins : These are denatured or hydrolysed protein.
Primary derived protein : Denatured product e.g. Fibrin, Myosan
Protein are of three types-
(i) Simple (ii) Conjugated (iii) Derived
Secondary derived protein : Digestion product of proteins eg. Peptones, Proteose di &
tripeptide.
