Question
Explain globular and fibrous proteins with example.
Advertisements
Solution
Globular proteins:
- Molecules of globular proteins have a spherical shape. This shape results from coiling around the polypeptide chain of the protein.
- Globular proteins are usually soluble in water.
For example: Insulin, egg albumin, serum albumin, legumelin (protein in pulses)
Fibrous proteins:
- Molecules of fibrous proteins have elongated rod-like shape. This shape is the result of holding the polypeptide chains of protein parallel to each other.
- Hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds are responsible for this shape.
- Fibrous proteins are insoluble in water.
For example: Keratin (present in hair, nail, wool), myosin (protein of muscles).
