Question

what is the prosthetic group of chromoprotein?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A chromoprotein is a conjugated protein that contains a pigmented prosthetic group (or cofactor). A common example is haemoglobin, which contains a heme cofactor, which is the iron-containing molecule that makes oxygenated blood appear red.

Answer 2

Prosthetic group: They are organic compounds and are tightly bound to the apoenzyme. For

example, haem is the prosthetic group in peroxidase and catalase enzymes that catalyse the

breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Haem (prosthetic group) is a part of the

active site of the enzyme.
