Which of the following have carbohydrate as prosthetic group :
A
Glycoprotein
B
Chromoprotein
C
Lipoprotein
D
Nucleoprotein
Detailed Solution
Conjugated proteins have a non-protein (prosthetic) group attached.
In glycoproteins, the prosthetic group is a carbohydrate (e.g. mucin, some hormones, blood group antigens).
Chromoproteins have a pigment (e.g. haemoglobin), lipoproteins a lipid, and nucleoproteins a nucleic acid.
So glycoproteins have carbohydrate as their prosthetic group.
