Chromoproteins

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chromoproteins , also known as chromoproteins, are proteins that contain a dye component as a prosthetic group in a major or minor valence bond . These include cytochrome , hemoglobin , catalase , rhodopsin , the phycobiliproteins (see also Phycobiliproteins ) and the phytochromes of the so-called. "Light red-dark red system". The prosthetic group often contains an iron -containing or copper -containing porphyrin compound. Carotenoids are sometimes also part of chromoproteins.
