Question

What is the difference between ‘fibrous protein’ and ‘globular protein’ ?

Answer 1

Fibrous proteins: Polypeptidex chains which are running parallel are held together by hydrogen and di sulphide bonds, fibre like structures are formed.

Ex: Keratin, myosin

Globular protein:- This structure results when the chains of polypeptide coil around to give a spherical shape.

Ex: Insulin, albumin
