Q

READ: Albumins

A

• These are soluble in water and diluted in aqueous solution.
• Can be coagulated by heat and precipitated from solution using saturated ammonium sulfate.
coagulated means it can be form as solid

Q

READ: Globulins

A
  • These are insoluble in water but soluble in diluted salt solution.
  • It can coagulated by heat, and precipitate using half salt saturated solution ammonium sulfate.
  • Mostly it found in nuts.

READ: Glutelins

A
  • These are soluble in diluted solution of acid and alkalies (bases).
  • it is insoluble in water and neutral solvents
  • It only occur in plants.
19

READ: Scleroproteins or Albuminoids

A
  • These are insoluble in all neutral solvents, dilute acid and alkalies (bases).
  • Entirely in animal proteins and constituents of exoskeletal structure connecting ang supporting fibrous tissues.

READ: Prolamins

A
  • It is soluble in 70-80% of ROH
  • But insoluble in absolute ROH, in water, and neutral solvents.
  • Rich in Proline upon hydrolysis.
  • Usually found in plants - mostly seeds

31
Q

READ: Nucleoprotein

A
  • Composed with simple protein in salt combination with nucleic acids (prosthetic group)
  • Most abundant in plant and animal tissues that have a large proportion to nuclear materials.
  • Examples are yeast, asparagus tips, thymes, and other glandular organs such as organ and sperm.
32
Q

READ: Mucoprotein or Mucoids

A
  • Simple protein in combination with mucopolysaccharides.
  • Present in tendons, bones, cartillages, and umbilical cord.
  • Also present in all animal mucins and blood-group substances.
33
Q

READ: Chromoproteins

A
  • Simple protein in combination with colored prosthetic group. (Chroma means color)
  • Hemoglobin - a respiratory proteins in which the prosthetic group in the iron-containing complex, heme. It is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells.
  • Cytochromes - prosthetic group is heme
  • Flavoproteins - prosthetic group is riboflavin.
  • Retins - Prosthetic group is carotenoid pigment (in carrots)
  • Catalase - it is enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
34
Q

READ: Prosphoprotein

A
  • Simple protein combined with phosphoric acid

* Examples are casein from milk and vitellin from egg yolk.

35
Q

READ: Metalloprotein

A 
• Enzyme protein containing metallic elements
• Examples are:
Fe - ferretin
Zn - alcohol dehydrogenase
Ca - calmodulin
Mo - dinitrogenase
Cu - plastocyatin
36
Q

READ: Lipoprotein

A
  • Proteins formed by combination of proteins with lipids such as lecithin and cephalin
  • Soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water.
  • Phospholipid protein complex (lecithoprotein) - found in animal and plant such as milk, blood, cell nuclei, egg yolk etc.
  • Also found in bacterial antigens and viruses
