What is a prosthetic group?
A prosthetic group is an area of a protein or protein complex that can be reduced and oxidized. Flavoproteins and Cytochromes are two examples of complexes with prosthetic groups.

Part of hemoglobin?
Haemoglobin made up of conjugated protein Globin 95%, haeme 5% (as prosthetic group) its chemical formula is C3032H4816O872S8Fe4
Why is iron needed in the blood?
The iron atom is an essential component of the heme prosthetic group in the protein hemoglobin, which is responsible for the transport of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What is the difference between coenzyme and prosthetic group?
CO-ENZYME: A dissociable cofactor, usually organic. PROSTHETIC GROUP: non-dissociable cofactor.
Which of the not a prosthetic group of nitrate reductase?
pterin
Is a zinc atom prosthetic group?
yes it is.
What is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells?
Haemoglobin - a protein that has a haem prosthetic group (which contains Iron).
What protein needs iron?
Hemeproteins as a group are so named because they contain the heme prosthetic group in which iron is coordinately bound within a porphyrin ring. The iron is the reactive center of the protein and is needed for whatever redox reactions the protein catalyzes. Hemeproteins are involved in oxygen transport (hemoglobin) and energy production in mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase).
Does hemoglobin have proteins?
Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein. Hemoglobin contains a hemo prosthetic group that has an iron atom at its center. When the iron is bound to oxygen, the hemo group is red in color (oxyhemogoblin), and when it lacks oxygen (deoxygenated form) it is blue-red.
What are the similarities between collagen and hemoglobin?
It is a protein They have both quartenary structures haemogalobin has 4 polypeptide chains with a prosthetic heam group and Collagen 3 polypeptide chains wound around each other by hydrogen bonds.
What is metalloprotein?
Metalloprotein are those which contain metal ions such as iron, cobalt, nickel etc., these proteins are usually enzymes and co factors for enzymes and comes under the category of conjugated proteins in which the non-protein part (metal ion) is called as prosthetic group or conjugatin group.
