Which of the following option is incorrect?
Options
- ALipoproteins = Proteins + Lipids
- BChromoproteins = Proteins + Lipids
- CNucleoproteins = Proteins + Nucleic acids
- DGlycoproteins = Proteins + Carbohydrates
Correct answer
B. Chromoproteins = Proteins + Lipids
Step-by-step solution
A chromoprotein is a conjugated protein that contains a pigmented prosthetic group (or cofactor). A common example is a haemoglobin, which contains a heme cofactor, which is the iron-containing molecule that makes oxygenated blood appear red.
