- Nucleoproteins: Proteins combined with nucleic acids, found in human tissues and salmon fish
- Hemoglobin: A conjugated protein containing globin and heme, present in red blood cells
- Chromoproteins: Proteins with pigments attached, responsible for specific colors
Protein Functions
- Structural: Provide support and protection in animal tissues
- Enzymatic: Catalyze biochemical reactions
- Hormonal: Regulate physiological processes
- Immune: Antibodies are proteins
- Storage: Store amino acids and other essential nutrients
- Transport: Carry molecules throughout the body
- Contractile: Involved in muscle movement

Key Features
- Collagen: Rich in glycine, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine
- Coagulation: Albumin does not coagulate upon heating, unlike other proteins
Protein
- Complex, organic, nitrogenous compounds with high molecular weight.
- Water-soluble.
- Soluble in dilute acids, alkali, and all neutral solvents.
- Not coagulated by heat.
Blood Group
- Blood groups are determined by the presence of specific proteins.
- These proteins are called antigens.
- Antigens are located on the surface of red blood cells.
LDL
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of lipoprotein.
- It is a complex of protein and lipid.
- It transports cholesterol in the blood.
Enzyme
- Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions.
- The activity of enzymes is dependent on the specific chemical environment.
- For example, enzyme activity can be affected by changes in pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors.
Electron Transport
- Electron transport is a series of reactions that occur in the mitochondria.
- This process uses energy from the breakdown of glucose to create ATP.
Denaturation
- Denaturation is the process of altering the structure of a protein.
- This can be caused by heat, acid, alkali, or other factors.
- Denaturation can lead to loss of function.
Hydrolysis
- Hydrolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
- This process is catalyzed by enzymes called proteases.
- Hydrolysis is necessary for digestion and the recycling of proteins.
Meta Protein
- A meta protein is a denatured protein.
- It is a result of the action of acid or alkali on a protein.
- Cooked egg albumin is an example of a meta protein.
