Proteins are very large molecules composed of basic units is called Amino acids. In addition, to containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen amino acids contains nitrogen. Proteins are highly complex molecules that are actively involved in the most basic and important aspects of life. These include metabolism, movement , defense, cellular communication, and molecular recognition. CLASSIFCATION OF PROTEINS On the basis of composition proteins are classified as simple or conjugated. Simple proteins sserum albumin , contains only amino acid. In contrast, conjugated proteins consists of a simple proteins combined with a non protein component. This non protein part is called Prosthetic group. Conjugated proteins without prosthetic group is called apoprotein. Derived Proteins – these are proteins derived by partial complete hydrolysis from the simple
