🔬 Classification of Proteins by Physicochemical Properties
1. 🔵 Simple Proteins
Made of only amino acids — no extra components attached.
a) Globular Proteins — Spherical, soluble in water
| Protein | Key Points |
|---|---|
| i) Albumins | Found in blood plasma; maintain osmotic pressure; most abundant serum protein |
| ii) Globulins | Make antibodies (immunoglobulins); found in blood and tissues |
| iii) Glutelins | Plant storage proteins (e.g., wheat glutenin); insoluble in water |
| iv) Prolamines | Rich in proline amino acid; found in cereal seeds (corn, wheat) |
| v) Protamines | Small, basic proteins; bind tightly to nucleic acids |
| vi) Histones | Wrap DNA in nucleosomes; regulate gene expression |
| vii) Globins | Subunits of hemoglobin; carry oxygen in red blood cells |
| viii) Lectins | Bind carbohydrates; involved in cell recognition and signaling |
b) Fibrous Proteins — Elongated, insoluble, structural role
| Protein | Key Points |
|---|---|
| i) Collagen | Most abundant protein in body; found in bone, skin, tendons |
| ii) Elastin | Provides elasticity to skin, arteries, and lungs |
| iii) Keratin | Found in nails, hair, hoofs; forms protective outer layer |
2. 🟢 Conjugated Proteins
Proteins attached to a non-protein group (prosthetic group).
| Type | Prosthetic Group | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| i) Nucleoproteins | Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) | Nucleohistones, nucleoprotamines |
| ii) Glycoproteins | Carbohydrates | Mucins, immunoglobulins, complements |
| iii) Mucoproteins | High carbohydrate (>4%) | Mucin (saliva), blood group substances, FSH, LH |
| iv) Lipoproteins | Lipids | LDL, VLDL, HDL — transport fats in blood |
| v) Phosphoproteins | Phosphoric acid | Casein (milk), vitellin (egg yolk) |
| vi) Chromoproteins | Colored prosthetic group | Hemoglobin, flavoproteins, rhodopsin |
| vii) Metalloproteins | Metal ions | Ferritin (Fe), Ceruloplasmin (Cu) |
3. 🟣 Derived Proteins
Products of hydrolysis or denaturation of native proteins.
a) Primary Derived — mild changes, structure slightly altered
| Type | Key Points |
|---|---|
| i) Coagulated Proteins | Formed by heat/acid; e.g., boiled egg white |
| ii) Proteans | First products of hydrolysis; slightly insoluble |
| iii) Metaproteins | Formed by strong acid/alkali; soluble in weak acids/bases |
b) Secondary Derived — further breakdown into smaller fragments
| Type | Key Points |
|---|---|
| i) Proteoses (Albumoses) | Large hydrolytic fragments; soluble but coagulable |
| ii) Peptones | Smaller than proteoses; not coagulated by heat |
| iii) Peptides | Hydrolytic products of peptones; short chains of amino acids |
