Conjugated Proteins and Their Roles

Conjugated proteins are proteins that bond with a non-protein part. Unlike simple proteins, which contain only amino acids, these protein complexes include another chemical moiety attached covalently. That extra part can change how the protein works in the body.

Proteins form complexes with other small and large molecules, including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. These are called conjugated proteins, meaning their complexes consist of both amino acids and nonprotein components.

Nucleoproteins are comprised of both proteins and nucleic acids.
