Conjugated proteins are globular proteins with a prosthetic group, such as the haem group in hemoglobin and catalase, which is essential for their function like oxygen binding or enzyme catalysis.

|---|---|
| Back | - all in quaternary structure - globular proteins with prosthetic group (non protein group) - example of prosthetic group is haem (containing Fe2+) - Haemoglobin uses it to bind reversibly with O2, it has a haem group in each of its 4 subunits - catalase uses it to interact with hydrogen peroxide to speed up reactions, also has 4 haem groups |
