Kulsoom
Classification Based on Composition
1.
Simple proteins:
A protein that contains amino acids only.
Examples: albumin, globulins & histones.
2.
Conjugated Proteins:
A protein that have some non-protein moiety in its structure along
with protein part.
3.
Derived proteins:
Proteins derived from simple and conjugated proteins by physical
or chemical treatment. Examples: peptones peptides and
denatured proteins.

Proteins as Enzymes
• Many proteins act as biological
catalysts or enzymes.
• Thousands of different enzymes
exist in the body.
• Examples: catalase, amylase,
trypsin, lipase.
Immunological Proteins
Proteins examples:
Gamma globulins
• when a pathogen enters the
Antibody
body, the immune system
produces antibodies against it
that fight against the invader.
Antibody

Protein Channels & Receptors
Channels: Protein pores that run like tunnels across the lipid bilayer will allow
specific materials that we need, like glucose, to slip through the membrane.
Receptors: proteins that mediate the effects of hormones in side the cell.
Cell cytoskeleton
Examples: Microfilaments, intermediate filaments & microtubules.

Factors I, II, III, IV, V
etc.
