one of protein classes, it contain polypeptide chains that are organized approximately parallel along a single axis.

Fibrous protein was a long fibers(large sheets), insoluble in water, also insoluble in dilute salt solutions, it strong, and important in nature.

  • such as eg is keratin : hair and wool

and

  • collagen of connective tissues : cartilage , skin and so on

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.

What is the structural role of protein?

Structural proteins are fibrous proteins. The most familiar of the fibrous proteins are the keratins. This forms skin, fur, hair, nails, hooves, horns, beaks and feathers. Other structural proteins are the actin and myosin proteins of muscle tissue, tendons and ligaments.Structural proteins are proteins that build up our tissues or body. actin, myosin, clotting factors are some of the structural proteins. They give up a shape and rigidity to our cells or tissues and ultimately to our body (muscle).

On the basis of structural classification which joint is fibrous connective tissue?

A fibrous joint is a structural classification where bones are joined by fibrous connective tissue. Examples of fibrous joints include sutures in the skull and syndesmoses in the distal tibiofibular joint.


Why is it significant that keratin and collagen are fibrous proteins and myoglobin and hemoglobin are globular proteins?

Keratin and collagen are fibrous proteins, providing structural support and strength to tissues like hair and skin. Myoglobin and hemoglobin are globular proteins, designed for carrying and binding molecules like oxygen in the blood. The difference in their structures reflects their specific functions in the body.


Name two types of structural proteins in your body?

Collagen and keratin are two types of structural proteins in the body. Collagen provides strength and structure to tissues such as skin, bones, and tendons, while keratin is a tough protein found in hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin.


What are collage proteins?

Collagen is the important structural protien found in connective tissues of the mammals. It is a fibrous proteins mostly abundant in fibrous tissues like ligaments, tendons and skin also found in catilage, cornea, bons and blood vessels. It also forms dentin in teeth.
