Step-by-step solution
Proteins are broadly classified into simple, conjugated, and derived proteins based on their structural composition and the products of their hydrolysis. Simple proteins are composed entirely of amino acids and yield only amino acids upon complete hydrolysis. Histones are a well-known example of simple proteins; they are highly basic proteins rich in arginine and lysine residues that associate with DNA in eukaryotic chromatin. Conjugated proteins contain a protein part combined with a non-protein component called a
