Simple Proteins and Their Functions

Protein is an important nutrient that builds muscles and bones. It provides energy and helps with weight control by making people feel full after eating. Protein is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and comes in many forms in the body. It plays several essential roles like structure, regulation of processes, immunity, circulation, and energy production.

Classification of proteins
A. Simple proteins are those which yield only amino acids upon hydrolisis. They include: [Link] w/c soluble in water , coagulated by heat [Link] w/c are insoluble in water , soluble in dilute salt solution and coagulated by heat [Link] w/c are insoluble in neutral solvent but soluble in weak acids and alkalis ,coagulated by heat [Link] w/c are soluble in 70 to 80 percent alcohol , insoluble in absolute alcohol , water and salt solutions [Link] w/c are insoluble in all neutral solvents and in dilute acids and alkalis [Link] and protamines w/c are basic polypeptides , soluble in water , not coagulated by heat. They are found in nuclei of cells.
