Classification based on chemical compositionsSimpleprotein(简单蛋白质):made up of amino acids completely, without non-protein componentsConjugatedprotein(缀合蛋白质):conjugated protein = apoprotein + prosthetic groups(辅基)is non-protein part,Prostheticgroupbinding to protein by covalent bond. This group canbe carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, phosphates,pigments(色素),or metalions
