A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not consumed by the reaction; hence

a catalyst can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction it has been used to speed
up, or catalyze.

Simple proteins. On hydrolysis they yield only the amino acids and occasional small carbohydrate
compounds. Examples are: albumins, globulins, glutelins, albuminoids, histones and protamines.

Conjugated proteins. These are simple proteins combined with some non-protein material in the body.
Examples are: nucleoproteins, glycoproteins, phosphoproteins, haemoglobins and lecithoproteins.

Denaturation is the alteration of a protein shape through some form of external stress (for example, by
applying heat, acid or alkali), in such a way that it will no longer be able to carry out its cellular
function.
