Globulins - antibodies
PROTEINS
Histones - chromatin in chromosomes
Isomeric Peptides
• Peptides that contain the same amino acids but
present in different order are different molecules
(constitutional isomers) with different properties
– For example, two different dipeptides can be
formed between alanine and glycine
Glycoproteins
Immunoglobulins
• Glycoproteins produced as a protective
response to the invasion of microorganisms
or foreign molecules
- antibodies against antigens.
• Immunoglobulin bonding to an antigen via
variable region of an immunoglobulin occurs
through hydrophobic interactions, dipole
– dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonds.
• Carbohydrate molecules attached to the
heavy chains aid in determining the
destinations of immunoglobulins in the
tissues
Lipoproteins
