    Fibrous proteins have long parallel polypeptide chains that form an insoluble and stable structure, serving structural and supporting functions. In contrast, globular proteins are coiled and folded into irregular but specific shapes, forming relatively unstable yet metabolically active structures that are soluble in water and acids/bases. Examples of fibrous proteins include keratin and collagen, while globular proteins include hemoglobin and enzymes.

    What is the difference between fibrous protein and globular


    protein?
    FIBROUS PROTEIN GLOBULAR PROTEIN
    Long parallel polypeptide Coiled and folded into globular shape
    chains
    There is repetitive regular Irregular amino acid sequence
    sequence of amino acids
    Insoluble in water,acid and Soluble in water,acid and base
    bases
    Actual sequence may vary Sequence is highly specific. It does
    slightly between two not vary between two example of the
    example of the same protein same protein
    Secondary structure most Tertiary structure determines its
    important in carrying out its metabolic function
    structural and supporting Relatively unstable structure
    function -usually soluble in water, can form
    -stable structure colloidal suspension
    -insoluble in water
    Example: keratin, Example:
    collagen,elastin and fibroin haemoglobin,myoglobin,enzyme
    ,antibodies
