Metalloproteins

Classification Of  Proteins 

Conjugated Proteins 

Metalloproteins

Metalloproteins: 

Proteins are conjugated with metal like iron, copper and zinc 

Metalloproteins: Enzymes, Transport Proteins, Storage Proteins 

Iron Containing Proteins: Hemoglobin and Myoglobin

Cytochromes/Catalase/Peroxidase 

Iron , Copper and Zinc: Essential for the formation of Haemoglobin 

Every man is Iron Man

Major Iron Compartments

Haemoglobin 1800-2500 mg

Functions of Iron containing proteins 

Haemoglobin: Required for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide 

Muscle and Iron (Myoglobin)

Red Fibers: High amount of Myoglobin 

Red fibers with high amount of myoglobin resistant to fatigue 

Myoglobin makes the muscle resistant to FATIGUE 

Muscles with low myoglobin fatigues more rapidly

Myoglobins Trick 

Myoglobin stores oxygen in the muscle that makes it resistant to Fatigue 

Myoglobin In Postural Muscles 

Contract to stabilize and maintain body position

Posture scores the Goal
