The following points highlight the top six types of proteins. The types are: 1. Albumin 2. Glycoproteins 3. Chromoproteins 4. Scleroproteins (Albuminoids) 5. Silk Fibroin 6. Collagen. Type # 1. Albumin: Chemistry: a. Albumins are simple proteins, soluble in water, coagulated by heat and precipitated by saturated salt solutions. b. The glycine content of many albumins is low. Sources: They [...]
The following points highlight the four structure types of proteins. The types are: 1. Primary Structure 2. Secondary Structure 3. Tertiary Structure 4. Quaternary Structure. Type # 1. Primary Structure: Peptide bond is formed by the amino acids linked by carboxyl group of one amino acid with the α-amino group of another amino acid as shown: H2N-CH2-CO-NH-CH2-COOH Glycyl-Glycine Thus, they [...]
