Collagen is an example of which type of protein?
structural protein
What are the differences between collagen and hemoglobin?
Collagen is a long fibrous structural protein. A molecule of collagen contains three of the helical subunits coiled around each other in what is known as a coiled-coil. Hemoglobin on the other hand is a globular protein that contains a heme group. Four globular subunits make up hemoglobin and each contain an iron in order to hold the oxygen for transport.
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.
Does collagen contain protein?
Collagen is a protein yes. Protein is a broad category of molecules.
What protein is insoluble in water?
One example of a protein that is insoluble in water is collagen, which is a structural protein found in connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones. Collagen's insolubility in water is due to its triple helix structure and the presence of hydrophobic amino acid residues in its composition.
What type of protein is often used to carry other molecules?
glubour
Is hemoglobin consider as globular protein and conjugated protein?
haemoglobin is considered as globular protein because it has ametabolic functions and considered as conjugated protein because it cosisted of protein and non protein moiety
Globular protein example?
Hemoglobin, Enzymes, Antibodies, Transporters in Membranes, Some Hormones (e.g. Insulin)
Could a protein have what is called a globular shape?
Tritiory proteins are globular proteins. Every enzyme is a globular proteins.
What protein is in the dermis?
collagen fibers
What type of protein is often used to carry other molecouls?
fibrous
Can proteins produce collagen?
collagen is a form of protein
