What type of protein is often used to carry other molecouls?

fibrous


Globular or fibrous polypeptide chains are what type of protein structure?

Fibrous polypeptide chains are a type of protein structure known as secondary structure, while globular polypeptide chains are associated with tertiary structure. Globular proteins typically have a compact, rounded shape, while fibrous proteins have a more elongated, fibrous shape.


Are enzyme typically fibrous protein?

no, they r globular proteins.


What are two kinds of protein?

The 2 major kinds are Globular and Fibrous


The arrangement of a polypeptide into a fibrous or globular shape is called its?

quaternary structure


Is collagen an example of globular protein?

No, collagen is a Fibrous protein. An example would be insulin.


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 shape of a protein molecule resembles?

Protein molecules can have various shapes, such as globular, fibrous, or membrane-bound. The shape of a protein is important for its function, with globular proteins often being enzymes or transport molecules, and fibrous proteins providing structural support. Additionally, the shape of a protein is determined by its specific sequence of amino acids.


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.


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.


Properties of fibrous and globular proteins?

Fibrous proteins are formed from the folding of beta pleated sheets and have a secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure. Globular proteins are formed from the coiling of alpha helices and have a tertiary and quaternary structure.I hope that helps!!!
