27. What is a prosthetic group? Identify prosthetic groups in the following conjugated proteins:
A prosthetic group is a part of the protein that is not composed of amino acids. Lipoproteins
Carbohydrates Hemoproteins Lipids Flavin nucleotides Metalloproteins Glycoproteins
Phosphate groups Fe, Ca, Copper, Zinc Phosphoproteins Flavoproteins Heme (iron porphyrin)
Solution
part-a: Hemoproteins contain hemoglobin, in which \"iron (Fe2+) is the prosthetic group useful
to carry oxygen
Part-b: Lipoproteins contain lipid moieties with double & triple bonds as prosthetic groups
Part-c: Metalloproteins such as cobalamin contain \"cobalt\" as prosthetic groups in their
structure of intrinsic factor human digestive system
Part-c: Flavoproteins contain flavin as prosthetic group
Glycoproteins is conjugate protein that contains \"glycosidic linkage\" as prosthetic groups.
