What is the functional classification of proteins?

Figure 1 Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids. The polypeptide chains fold into their final three-dimensional structure to constitute a functional protein. The amino acid sequence and structure in this example correspond to ribosomal protein L2.

What are the 4 types of functional proteins?

There are four structural levels of protein: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

What are the 6 functional categories of proteins?

Terms in this set (6)

transport proteins. provide a means of regulating the movement of substances across the plasma membrane.
cell surface receptors. bind specific molecules that are called ligands.
identity markers.
enzymes.
anchoring sites.
cell-adhesion proteins.

What are the 8 different functional classes of proteins and what are some of their functions?

What are the 8 types of protein?

Enzymatic Protein.
Structural Protein.
Defensive Protein.
Storage Protein.
Transport Protein.

Contractile Protein.

What are examples of functional proteins?

For the functional protein you have haemoglobin, myoglobin, enzymes and for the structural protein you have keratin, collagen, etc.

What are 2 types of protein?

There are two main categories (or sources) of proteins – animal and plant based.

What are the three classifications of protein?

1.1 Classification Examples are: albumins, globulins, glutelins, albuminoids, histones and protamines. (b) Conjugated proteins. These are simple proteins combined with some non-protein material in the body. Examples are: nucleoproteins, glycoproteins, phosphoproteins, haemoglobins and lecithoproteins.
