    (I) Simple Proteins

    Uploaded by

    SHRUTI SHARMA
    There are three main types of proteins: simple proteins which contain only amino acids and are fibrous or globular in structure, conjugated proteins which are formed by the binding of a simple protein to a non-protein group like carbohydrates, lipids, or metals, and derived proteins which are denatured or hydrolyzed forms of other proteins. Simple proteins include structural proteins like collagen and contractile proteins like actin and myosin. Conjugated proteins include hemoglobin, immunoglobulins, and lipoproteins. Derived proteins are either denatured proteins or smaller peptide fragments from protein digestion.

    Protein are of three types-

    (i) Simple (ii) Conjugated (iii) Derived

    (i) Simple Proteins :


    They are made up of only amino acids.
    They are of two types – Fibrous and globular proteins.
    1. Fibrous proteins :
    They are thread like structural proteins.
    Fibrous protein generally contain secondary structure and are insoluble in water e.g.,
    collagen of connective tissue, actin and myosin of muscles, keratin of scales, feathers,
    hairs, claws, nails, horns and hoofs, silk of spider web.
    2. Globular proteins :
    They are spherical non-contractile proteins which may be enzymatic or non-enzymatic.
    They have tertiary or quaternary structure.
    Smaller globular proteins are usually soluble in water and are not coagulated by heat e.g.,
    histones.
    Egg albumin, serum globulins and glutelins are examples of large globular proteins, which
    get coagulated by heat.
    (a) Albumins :
    They are water soluble and occur as serum albumin in blood plasma and loctoalbumin in
    milk.
    (b) Globulins :
    They are soluble in weak acids and alkaline solution but insoluble in water e.g.
    lactoglobulin in milk.
    (c) Histones :
    They are water soluble and are rich in lysine and arginine (amino acids) they occur in
    eukaryotic DNA.
    (d) Protamines :
    These water soluble arginine rich proteins occur in DNA of spermatozoa of some fishes
    e.g. salmine in Salmon.
    (e) Gluteins :
    They occur only in plants like wheat e.g., glutenin.
    Protein are of three types-
    (i) Simple (ii) Conjugated (iii) Derived

    (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.
    Protein are of three types-
    (i) Simple (ii) Conjugated (iii) Derived
