What is the difference fibrous protein and globular proteins?

Fibrous proteins are proteins which are long, thin "rod" like in shape (fibres). These are insoluble. They are used for things like support and structure. E.g collagen Wheras globular proteins are relatively small and globe like, these are soluble. They have many roles e.g Enzymes, Messangers, Transporter- Haemoglobin transports oxygen to cells.


What proteins are in globular proteins?

There are two class of protein based on their structure namely fibrous and globular. Globular proteins form a globe like spherical structure in contrary to rod like fibrous proteins (collagen). They are soluble in water and the structure is rendered by its three dimensional arrangement of amino acids in solution. Most of the enzymes, soluble hormones and factors fall into this class of proteins.

What are some examples of fibrous protein?

Examples of fibrous proteins include keratins, collagens and elastins. Fibrous proteins are only found in animals. Fibrous proteins form 'rod' or 'wire' -like shapes and are usually inert structural or storage proteins. They are generally water-insoluble. Fibrous proteins are usually used to construct connective tissues, tendons, bone matrix and muscle fiber.
